Experts are concerned about the spike in acts of Satanism. They say the youth are easily drawn into cults due to various social pressures.

The murder of 15-year-old Lee Adams on the Cape Flats last week has sent shock waves across the country.

His decapitated body was found in an abandoned school near his home.

According to Auksano trauma centre director Johan de Beer, more than three cases of satanism and devil worship are reported in the Western Cape alone every week. Auksano counsels people involved in sub-cults, including Satanism and devil worshiping.

De Beer says there is a strong link between occult activities and gangsterism.

The SABC’s Newsroom programme, aired live every weekday at 9am on channel 404, spoke to De Beer on Tuesday.
