The Eastern Cape has recorded the first initiate to die since the 2022 summer initiation season started on November 4.
Police provincial commissioner Lt-GenMene, speaking at a launch of the 16 Days of Activism campaign in Centane on Saturday, said:... So many young men have lost their manhood and been assaulted.
“Every season we count the number of dead initiates instead of celebrating their coming into manhood.”senior manager Vuyo Stofile said: “It is a sad reality that the Eastern Cape is the most affected province as far as abuse of initiates is concerned.”BCM Traditional Surgeon Association chair Andile Siko posted an appeal on Facebook, urging men to make the custom safer.“I visited the family [of the deceased initiate] and I witnessed how devastated his mother was.
“All she wants is answers about her child, but the traditional nurse who was looking after him is nowhere to be found.”
