We have become used to the fact that out of every bad situation, many people take it as an opportunity to make money and the outbreak of Aids and Ebola in Africa experienced the same, by generating ‘miracle curers’ across the globe.

Jammeh, a former army colonel, turned democratic leader, with no medical training, was able to convince that a certain mixture of herbs and spices would cure the disease that has plagued Africa for decades.

Despite that the UN envoy to the Gambia, Fadzai Gwaradzimba, was expelled from the Gambia, after a warning that the concoction had not been assessed by the international health community and advising patients to discontinue the treatment, some went for treatments.
