BURGERSFORT – Limpopo registered a death-free initiation season.
It came to an end on Saturday July 29. Initiates returned to their homes after undergoing the passage into adulthood.
Parents of the 15 633 males and 4 367 females who attended 269 legal initiation schools celebrated the success of this sacred tradition.
“We want to congratulate all parents who took their children to this traditional practice, and commend them for especially heeding to our call of not taking their children to illegal initiation schools. ”Initiates embark on this sacred path towards adulthood with the hope of coming back into their communities transformed into mature men and women,” said Motupa Selomo, spokesman for the Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs.
