Abstract
Author presents some data on attitudes towards
illness, curing, and politics in a multiethnic farming community
in rural Tanzania. He discusses the status of mchinjamchinja as it
is variably perceived by the inhabitants and relate this to
another category of capricious supernatural being, the
shetani (pl. mashetani). Finally, he considers how these
classes of extraordinary beings relate to public health
employees and political statuses in the community.
