WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: Black boy starves during initiation
|
[There are also interesting reader comments on the BBC site about these rituals. Jan] A South Africa teenager has died of malnutrition during initiation rituals in the Eastern Cape province. He is the ninth youth to die this year during the initiation process, which involves weeks spent living in the bush, followed by circumcision. Others died from circumcisions that led to infection or gangrene. South Africa has taken steps to reduce the number of initiation-related deaths, but fatalities still occur every year – many in the Eastern Cape. In the latest case, a group of youths had been kept in the mountains for three weeks and denied food, Eastern Cape provincial health department spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said. Is initiation worth the risk? “We don’t understand why a human being can do something like this. This is against the custom, it is contradicting custom,” Mr Kupelo said. On Monday, another Eastern Cape youth died as the result of a botched circumcision – the eighth since the start of the current winter initiation season – and two more were hospitalised. One of the two who are in hospital was reportedly circumcised by a traditional healer registered by the government in terms of a scheme to reduce the number of botched circumcisions. There has been particular concern over circumcisions being carried out by inexperienced practitioners, in unhygienic conditions and using unsterilised implements. Do you think being initiated is worth the risk if the rituals are dangerous? Or does social pressure in Africa mean it is too difficult to say no – like the Kenyan girl who bled to death last week after circumcising herself because she was being teased? Let us know about the initiation rituals in your country and whether you think there should be more regulation using the form below. Source: BBC |
