Niyalunga, rubbish!!!!!

Who told you that being beaten and assaulted by someone makes you a man? If you are not a real man you are not, doesn't matter if you attended these stupid mountain schools or not.

Anyway, it's all Sis Angie's fault. Why don't build classrooms for these mountain schools.

Boy, I'm glad you survived that horrible treatment. I initiated in 2000 but never experienced that(Limpopo). But one thing most people or bloggers dont know is that, initiation schools are done by people who are Sangoma's or Witch expects. So for you not completing the programme is a great risk for your mental capacity although i fully understand the reasons behind not completing. Be warned that, your mental health may be damaged due to not completing. Those people are real witch who can make your life miserable. If it was in Limpopo, i was betting on my mother's grave that your mind was going to be disturbed, but in FSS i doubt because even young boys can be the god fathers of the school.

Bloggers do not forget that the school was illegal, which means everything practiced was out of order and rampant. So do not relate this independent skhothane school with reality of initiation. I am from the mountain school, but I never suffered at all.

What really scared me was to see those guys who were told not sit by the fire,but sat facing it from the front...I was surprised to see their balls grow bigger...I still could'nt find out whether they felt pain or how they got to their normal size...

Getting inside the river at 03:00 in the morning and sitting insikde that cold water is really horrible...

Singing at 12:00 midnight is really disturbing and can brainwash someone's mind...

Running after an impala,buck or rabbit while unstitched can really cause pain to one's member...

Forcing someone to wake up in the middle of the night and sing out loud is really cruel and abusive...

So why are you laughving ,now...we are not suppossed to tell these things to "aMashoboro"...
But trully speaking,this has got something to do with culture...Coming from an initiation school cannot turn one into a man.Zulus are the most powerful and bravest men respected by all south african cultures,even those who come from Mountain Schools cannot compete with them.They are more powerful,have money and know what it means being a man...It is not all of them who abuse women...
There are so many companies in johannesburg that are being run by them..And that shows how civilized they are.The only thing with them is just that they are many,and therefore outnumber the rest of the south african tribes....

I even think that most of the sotho,pedi,tswana clans are going to be absorved by them...The zulu language is going to dominate and will continue to overrule other languages...

Hi All
I just registered on this site just because of this topic it really a touching issue. I'm Xhosa man and I also went to mountain. The only really reason that caused death in the mountain is that initiation has been commercialised. Why people send their children to initation schools where other people will look after their children? Where I come from we never experience death in the mountain because our own parents look after their own children they know what is happening to their children. The is no initatian school where people get money for looking after other people children.

Then a self righteus, brain washed "real men" will tell u that u must not comment if u never been to the "real men school" and they tell u dat they value and needed the teachings of those teachers of the mountain, teachings of life, teachings of how to b a man. I repeat parents should take responsibility and start teaching their kids about life and stop shying away from their responsibility, how can a so called real men value the information he got from a stranger more than that of his parents? either parents dont teach kids about life, just feed them till they grown or we r just stone aged to differentiate between wrong from right, whats good and whats bad,

===========
In the case where one or both your parents are not working! what about places where parents do work,who will look after you? just asking.
But you are right,initiation schools are now commercialized and thus all they care about is the money not the person, so would i be right if i said this "culture" must be stripped off as it doesnt serve the purpose anymore??

When you went to the mountain? If long time, do you realise that things are different in there as compared to nowadays initiation schools which are characterised by commercial gaining only.

@Mathopeed please don't pretend you know what you are talking more than you are driven with your superstitious beliefs and want to try pass them as facts, repeat after me, nothing will happen to this guy if he doesn't complete this initiation, the only thing which will drive him crazy are ppl like you who will be trying to use superstition to brainwash him into thinking he is not good enough, please leave it and if you feel strongly about it, go get circumcised on his behalf, btw please don't talk on the public forum in this way cause you immediately expose how misinformed and primitive thinking that you are,

the only thing this man needs to do is to have his wound be seen to by a medical professional,and obtain for himself painkillers, otherwise I wish him good luck and speedy recovery cause it really must be traumatic what he went through.

@Golly459 LOL its actually sad to read these primitive beliefs from our ppl cause it is this which makes them prone to be exploited by these charlatans.

Also from what I know about circumcision, the only part of an initiate's body is affected should be his pen!s, can someone please explain to me how did this guy got injury on his feet?

Chief you re telling Mathopeed the truth,these people dont consider the impotence of life.I dnt understand why they re threating these boyz like this,we also from initiations mid 90z but now these things are new.

The law has to do some thing. Sentence all the killers not less than 25 years injail.

Each & every June we fill the same pain of losing our brothers,bcz of death of this nature.

@somaartakeit
I'm not trying to brainwash him, those are some of the facts you WOMEN wont ever understand about initiation school. Mybe you didnt read my first paragraph with CLEAR mind. Im also sympathising with this boy for what he faced during Initiation period, I'm also wishing him speedy recovery. Those who went there (Initiation School) will understant what I'm trying to say. Arguing with you on this Platform is not gona help. I'l take you to girls/women initiation school, you'l see what i'm raising. Boy, Wish you all the best in you recovery which was devastated by this Initiation school.

@Xhosa 100, true dat brother. @DjEp, most of thetime it’s done in December when the parents are on leave and believe me your sister cooks for you and your younger brother will take the food to the bush and your older brothers or cousins if you do not have brother willl be there 24/7 to sleep with you every night and your dad is there almost the whole day. Where I came from the parents make it their mission that when their son goes to the bush they are on leave.

People make up traditions as time goes on, Lebollo was never about cruelty or treating initiates like prisoner in Guantanamo prison, it was about initiating young men into a society, how to act, how to treat your community members and contribute in your community, it was about teaching young boys respect and proper thinking, today this ritual has been turned into a Barbarian breeding school, were sarvages try to turn this young boys into barbarians and cold heated maniacs, they have thrown the spirity of Ubuntu out of the window...

I like the guy who said if you dont wanna bear the pain of initiation you shouldnt go the. Now this boy went to report the story to the newspaper and hw comes saying he is scared of his life.

I think we made a mistake of giving to much power to women, now they snick their noses to things that they shouldnt be. We as man dont care about thier women issues, but they like to put theier dirty feet on man's stuff,

Women won't you please let man be men and its too much that we got gay men out there, but men are too much or too little but we dont need your help?

I took my son to hospital for circumcision. I went through the traditional process and felt it's not worth it for my son to go through it the same way I did. Traditional manhood process is no longer relevant at this day and age. Viva professional male circumcision viva.
