While South Africa is moving to ensure the safety of boys and young men who undergo circumcisions at traditional initiation schools, a new report has shown that some of them die of hunger at illegal initiation schools, while others have lost their limbs. According to the report, in some areas, illegal initiation schools are used as breeding grounds for crime and gangsterism. Aimed at establishing the causes and the nature of deaths at initiation schools, the report was put together by the South African religious watchdog, the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities. The commission has now called on different stakeholders to crack down on dangerous, illegal initiation schools. More from Professor David Masoma, Deputy Chairperson of the commission..
