10 Sterftes is reeds in die Oos-Kaap aangemeld en minstens ses initiasieskole in die Vaaldriehoek is laasweek in die wiele gery. Die sterftes hou egter verband met die besnydenisse wat die tienerseuns by die skole ondergaan.

Gedurende 2015 in sowat 43 tienerseuns dood by initiasieskole, waarvan 30 sterftes in die Oos-Kaap was.

‘n Beroep word op ouers en die gemeenskap te doen om te help om steftes by initiasieskole te bekamp.
