120 young men and 18 young women were officially welcomed back home by their parents and locals at Sterkfontein village, Tafelkop outside Grobblersdal. Initiation, for both boys and girls, is an old practice among various groups.

A hundred and twenty young men and eighteen young women

This is regarded as a transition from boyhood to manhood. Among the girls, it is also regarded as a transition to adulthood as well. The initiates are expected to learn values, respect and to uphold their culture or traditions. “They went so well but as time went on we can see that we are not close to home. I feel good because that is my religion I can’t say maybe I don’t want to go to initiation school. They taught me that us as men we have to work together and respect each other respect our elders,” said one male initiate graduate.
