'Boys under the legal age of 16 are admitted and traditional surgeons are not always properly trained.'
Nyandeni, Xasa said when the committee arrived the traditional surgeon had run away.
He said they expected that the provincial initiation co-ordination committee of the Eastern Cape should carry out what is prescribed in the act, “which is to close illegal schools but to follow the proper process to do so”. “There also seems to be a general lack of parental involvement in the custom, which encourages further non-compliance. The NIOC has committed to establishing a dedicated team to monitor parents and their actions, particularly during the first two weeks of the initiation season.”factor that contributes to the non-compliance is that the PICC is constituted of MECs who are unavailable for meetings because of competing priorities.
