The Western Cape
The submission comes at a time when we have
seen the death of many initiates due to botched initiation rituals across the
country.
In the last five years an estimated 313 initiates
have died and around 1865 have been injured due to initiation rituals gone
wrong.
Spokesperson for Western Cape Minster
Siviwe Gwarube said our record speaks for itself on this regard. That is why we
have taken the process of making recommendations to Minister Gordhan’s
department very seriously.
“We believe some of the initiatives we have
undertaken to implement in this province have done a lot to ensure that we save
the lives of many of our initiates.The deaths of hundreds of young people
cannot go unanswered,” Gwarube added.
