Bad Black says she turns to traditional shrines when life gets tough

What the report says

Ugandan socialite Shanitah Namuyibwa, better known as Bad Black, has spoken publicly about a spiritual path that shifts between Christianity and traditional practices. In a recent interview reported by Sqoop Uganda, she said she has visited traditional shrines more than once and has at times relied on witchcraft when facing personal difficulties.

According to the publisher, Bad Black said her beliefs are not fixed and may change depending on her circumstances. She described herself as a believer, but also said she turns to her ancestors for guidance and does not always begin with prayer or biblical teaching. The article quotes her as saying she has a strong link to her forefathers and that her approach can vary with her mood and what she feels is effective at the time.

She also linked her spiritual choices to family and domestic concerns, saying she seeks help when she wants things to go smoothly for her children and household. The report adds that she claimed witchcraft could be used in response to being wronged or oppressed.

Sqoop Uganda also noted that Bad Black’s beliefs have changed over time, including periods when she studied the Quran in prison and later identified as Born Again. The story places her latest remarks in the broader context of her long-running public image and her openness about unconventional spirituality.
