While the House of Traditional leaders called for the custom of initiation to be banned during the summer season and CRL Commission suspending initiation in four regions in the Eastern Cape, elders in Mqanduli have called for the custom to be done by those who have extensive experience only. These elders say initiation schools have become slaughter-houses after they were turned into money-making scam.
Initiation Consultant Zwelicengile Sonkosi says, “The initiation customs have laws, this includes talking to the ancestors. we talk to the boy before he goes to the mountain and we talk to him when he comes back preparing him to be a responsible man, now doing medical man circumcision means deserting centuries of custom.”
Sonkosi adds, “These areas should suspend initiation so that people who know about the custom can go to these areas to teach them proper ways of doing things; because there are no elders watching if things are done properly.”They are also calling for a temporal suspension while a long term solution is introduced.

Are we supposed to feel sad for ppl who choose to go up a mountain to get a trim? Nah, there's more important news. These guys should go to the hospital like everyone else instead of risking their life for no reason.
Why the government?
Are these people even taken in for questioning,clearly something isn't right...
What is it that Eastern cape is doing wrong? Its rare to here that initiates have died in other provinces but in EC its like a norm... The government must do something about this
peterbroggs This is getting out of hand.
The Contralesa should intervene in this matter .
