Diverse cultures in Matatiele, near the border between South Africa’s Eastern Cape and Lesotho, are still linked by an initiation ritual for young girls.

Image: ReutersFourteen girls from kwaSibi village in Matatiele were welcomed back after undergoing this rite of passage.Some believe that it is a form of preserving indigenous cultures, while others view it as an extreme violation of human rights.

While some are against it, those who practice this tradition believe it teaches young girls to be responsible and about womanhood. This tradition also includes traditional healers who are called upon to bring light to the young women’s journey and to cast off any evil spirits in their way. “What we are doing in the bushes it’s our secret, I am not going to tell you our secrets. If you were a circumcised woman I wouldn’t have any problem I would have just divulged everything but unfortunately you are not, so I cannot.”

So I see this 'ritual' refers to female circumcision, or in other words, female abuse/torture/mutilation. But because it is 'black culture', it is fine. When do we recognise backwardness for what it is....
