Indian origin witch doctors fleeing from New Zealand

Indian origin witch doctors have been doing a roaring business in New Zealand conning vulnerable and superstitious people. One woman from the Indian community had apparently paid a "six-figure" sum to a shaman to help her out of her miseries. But, with threats of deportation hanging over their heads, they are trying to leave the country.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 28 July 2015.

As informed by Pratima Nand, a community leader who has helped to blow the whistle on the witch doctors says that these persons are now fleeing the country in droves because they are under threat of deportation.
Pratima has received complaints from people who had believed witch doctors could help with finance, business, love, health and even immigration issues. Some of the victims had even handed over personal details and photos to the witch doctors.
One witch doctor is understood to have pledged to help a woman but after she forked out $1800 he disappeared. When the "patient" went to him for a planned follow-up visit, she found the door locked and his business closed.
These witch doctors have established themselves across New Zealand in cities outside South Auckland like Wellington, Hamilton and Christchurch. and the scale of their business was bigger than previously acknowledged.

Ireland beats West Indies to cause major upset in 2015 Cricket World Cup

#irelandcricket #cricketworldcup #CWC15 It has been termed as a major upset in the 2015 Cricket World Cup when Ireland beat two times world champions West Indies. In the opinion of Ireland captain Will Porterfield, the victory was no fluke and that his players are determined to win every game at the World Cup as reported in theguardian.com dated 16 February 2015.
Yes, Ireland is a newcomer to the game having played against Pakistan and Bangladesh in their first tournament appearance in 2007. Subsequently, they had a memorable against England in India in the 2011 world cup. Hence, Ireland captain Will Porterfield, a Warwickshire professional insists that the world should not view the win against West Indies as an upset.
He has also made it clear that he and his team want to go into the UAE game to win and keep picking up two points in every game.
In the West Indies game, which was the opening match of their Pool B encounter, Ireland beat West Indies by four wickets in Nelson. They did it with 25 balls to spare while chasing down the West Indies score of 304 for seven. Paul Stirling, Ed Joyce and Niall O’Brien scored half centuries to reach the objective. Incidentally, the margin would have been more impressive because, at one point of time, Ireland were 273 for two from where they slipped to 291-6 and sending pulses racing. But, in the end, it was victory.
Ireland is in Pool B with India and all eyes would be on that match scheduled for 10th of March at Hamilton.
