Over 600 initiates have safely returned home initiation school from after spending two months in the mountain in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga. The BaPedi Bakwa Mashilo Royal House welcomed the first initiates since 2020.

Over 600 initiates have safely returned home after spending two months in the mountain in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga.Initiation schools were suspended during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.This is due to the cooperation between the Ingoma holder and the provincial health department which made sure that all participants were in good health before they were admitted to the initiation school as per the Mpumalanga Ingoma Bill.

They left home as boys and returned as men. One of the initiates, a 15-year-old, says he’s excited to be counted among the men. The house of the BaPedi Bakwa Mashilo gives credit to all those involved in this process. Kgosi Speedy Mashilo says that the cultural practice assists in curbing social ills by educating the young boys.

Although the cultural practice is performed by traditional doctors, medical doctors are roped in to assist as per the Mpumalanga Ingoma Bill of 2007. The Chairperson of Doctors in Mpumalanga Dr Vusi Masombuka says they screen initiates before undertaking the process.
