CRL that want to regulate the church that killed no one..? This devilish culture has killed over 500 young men in the last 10 years but their concentration is how to close church in a country overwhelmed by devil. Sad.

Thank you for firing the purple cow. U should reinstate the suspended journalist.

How many of theses young men unfortunately lost their lives?😟

We need to take into consideration that some families don't afford to take their boys to initiation, so it puts the boy under pressure knowing that he will not be a man, while maybe his friends will be man. So they go behind and go to those eligal school without parent's concern.

Who is CRL? Ngumni?

How many people need to die before people take action and stop this problem. The tradition does not need to change but the safety & hygiene & methods need to be certified and changed & it needs to be done in medically approved conditions like a hospital so young men do not die.

They should just stop this whole thing, it's 2019 not 1920

Initiation tradition is not up to political leaders to decide, it's a decision that will be undertaken by Traditional leaders. Suspending is just a word of mouth. Xhosa culture and its customs will never be replaced by anyone. Intervene on affected area and resolve, simple.

Don't forget to suspend Mr penis of a rat, the purple cow. Give us his contact details. One on one session

Well um actually it happens every year but well done for discovering this a few decades later. Useless oxygen thieves.

Suspends? It should be banned, it's primitive. Two qualified doctors have got a case of manslaughter against them, yet this practice goes on killing men without punishment!!
