Do you believe in witchcraft?
In the last six months, as many as 150 elderly men and women accused of witchcraft have been lynched in Kenya, according to local officials.
Many were killed in gruesome ways, including being buried alive, by members of their own families and communities.
Similar "witch" killings have occurred in recent months in Nigeria and the Central African Republic.
The BBC's Odhiambo Joseph, who personally witnessed the burning alive of five people accused of being witches in western Kenya, will be taking questions from you on Africa Have You Say.
Has witchcraft affected you? Have you ever been accused of it? Is it mere superstition or a part of life? What's behind the increase in the killing of alleged witches? What stance should African governments take on this?
