"Eight initiates have died after being circumsised at an initiation school in Kwamhlanga, Mpumalanga, health officials said on Wednesday.

A total of 15 initiates were admitted to the Kwamhlanga hospital since Saturday, said Simphiwe Kunene from the Mpumalanga health department. Of the 15 admitted, 11 were discharged, one died and three were still in hospital."

No, i wouldn't allow them on my land either.

R.I.P. to the youngsters, and i sincerely hope that someone is criminally charged.

Poor farmer. This is all his fault now.
