A self-proclaimed healer, Dr Abdallah Kiwa, has run foul of the Advertising Standards Authority over claims that he can enlarge clients' penises and influence their enemies using a mirror.

The Johannesburg-based healer also promised in his advertising leaflets that he could make clients rich, get them promotions, bring back lost lovers and stolen property, and "remove black spots that keep taking your money away".

He could, he claimed, "bring to see your enemies [sic] and make demands on them using a mirror".
