The South African Communist Party in the Eastern Cape said it is shocked
at the rising numbers in death of initiates in the province. In this year alone 39 deaths have been
reported.
SACP Provincial Spokesperson Siyabonga
Mdodi said the situation in the province has reached alarming proportions which
require a solution urgently.
The SACP has also dismissed the way the
Daily Dispatch in recent weeks has reported on the deaths of initiates in the
province. Mdodi said that the Daily Dispatch has a responsibility to report about
challenges facing society to everyone.
“The Daily Dispatch in pursuit of sensationalism, drama and
profits has ignored the trauma this will cause to their families, relatives,
friends, colleagues and society at large. This exhibiting of the minors faces
serve no material purpose in telling the sad story that society ought to deal
with,” added Mdodi.
