Death related to the traditional circumcision
in South Africa keeps increasing with
another thirty people losing their lives at
the weekend, a Cape Town health official
has said.
Mr Mizwe Kupelo, Eastern Cape health
department spokesman old journalists at a
news conference on Sunday that nearly
300 have been taken to various hospitals
in the area.
“In the most recent case of botched
circumcisions during the traditional
initiation season, ten initiates were rescued
from a forest in Mbizana on Sunday.
“The private parts of the ten initiates have
become rotten as a result of the lack of
proper medical attention. They have been
badly damaged, and the condition of those
affected is scary,'' Kupelo said.
He, however, said the initiates were
responding to treatment since their
admission and expressed the hope that
some would recover during stay in
hospital.
