Witch doctors, or traditional healers, often gained the trust and belief of Africans through a combination of cultural practices, ritualistic performances, and knowledge of herbal medicine. They would demonstrate their abilities by successfully treating ailments, interpreting dreams, or performing divination, which reinforced their perceived power. Additionally, their deep understanding of local customs and beliefs allowed them to manipulate social dynamics, making people feel dependent on their services for healing and protection. This blend of skill, mystique, and community influence helped solidify their status as powerful figures in society.
