Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital’s Chief Medical Officer in Mthatha, Mbuyiselo Madiba says the death toll of initiates between 1995 and 2019 in the Eastern Cape is shocking and alarming.The province has registered 22 deaths this summer season.of the ritual is a step in the right direction.
“For all these other years, we have been putting up plans, seminars, training people, doing all sorts of things. This is the time now why I made up these recommendations to say enough is enough now. Even if you are running and get tired, you stop and say let me gain my strength. So, I am saying here, let us stop and start open up some discussion without fighting over this issue, but to try and arm ourselves to protect our young ones. The initiates – they have the right to live,” says Madiba.
Sabc do a program on the curriculum of the right of passage what is the content taught who are the teachers of the cultural values and who benchmark the outcomes
Never mind suspend them. The Traditional leaders of these areas that condone them as well as the owners/ management of these schools should be arrested and charged with MURDER.
You really need to learn more about our culture before making your own decisions. There are areas where such of these accidents are not happening. Stop what you are doing.
Parents who take their children to initiation schools should be charged with murder, you cannot use culture as a defense under South African law. concourt
Thank God for my family who dont practice these.. 🙏🙏🙏
In Sotho tribe initiation schools there are no deaths reported.
In limpopo no deaths. Why in EC they brutally kill kids? Why is this thing a repetition every year? Why are those involved not jailed for murder? Why is public so comfortable with these deaths yet when it's a foreigner the reaction is instant and violent? Why? 🤔 😳
No unless at Eastern cape only because here Limpopo initiation schools doing well
Thanks for this decision that made EC lethargic politicians and traditional adherents start moving feet and bums. Why not visit areas where initiates don't die to learn a thing or two,we won't be inferior individuals CRL_Commission
