Eastern Cape Traditional Affairs MEC Xolile Nqatha has expressed shock at the
s declaration to shut down 15 initiation schools in four regions of the province. CRL Rights Commission Chairperson David Mosoma has called on communities to help put an end to non-compliant initiation schools.Nqatha says they were not consulted as stakeholders. “We are taken aback and surprised because for any proper decision, a proper protocol needs to be followed. We call upon the commission to engage with us. No such decision was raised with us, at a technical level, nor with the political leadership of the province.”Mosoma says the deaths could have been avoided had all concerned parties taken seriously the report that the commission previously released.
Haleluya thanks god
Seems politicians took all the electricity, suddenly everyone is shocked.
EC is a vast province & the tradition practice/rules might slightly differ from area to area..why not ban the deadly tradition practice in the affected area or areas..not the entire EC
We will open no one will dictate our tradition just forget about closing initiation.
How many more were supposed to die in order for the MEC to be shocked? The lives of our next generation are rendered useless by these bunch of self serving politicians.
MEC should have been long shocked by alarming high death toll in initiation schools.
