Witches’ broomsticks are considered similar to any heavier-than-air transportation device, reports The Star. “A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150-metre] limit,” Swaziland Civil Aviation Authority marketing and corporate affairs director Sabelo Dlamini told the newspaper.
No penalties exist for witches flying below 150 metres.
The report said it was hard to say how serious he was, but witchcraft isn’t a joking matter in Swaziland, where the people believe in it. The statute also forbids toy helicopters and children’s kites from ascending too high into the country’s airspace.
