Each year, during the June and December school holidays,
young men from various ethnic groups in South Africa attend
traditional initiation schools, where circumcision is a key rite of
passage. Despite its cultural importance, the practice has led to
tragic outcomes, with 253 deaths reported in the Eastern Cape
over the last six years, often due to unsafe practices and
inadequate oversight of government, practitioners and other
parties involved with the cultural practice. Research Focus: 1.
What mechanisms are currently in place to ensure justice for
families of victims of circumcision-related deaths, and how
effective are they? 2. What practical recommendations can help
prevent initiation school deaths in South Africa while respecting
cultural traditions? Focus areas for discussion: 1. Introduction:
Overview of circumcision practices and associated deaths. 2.
Justice Mechanisms: Analysis of current systems (i.e., legal,
community-based). 3. Effectiveness: Assessment of how well
these mechanisms address the issue. 4. Recommendations:
Proposals for reducing deaths and supporting victim families.

Introduction
Traditional male initiation, including circumcision, is a deeply
rooted cultural practice among various ethnic groups in South
Africa, particularly in the Eastern Cape. It marks the transition
from boyhood to manhood and is considered a significant rite
of passage. However, despite its cultural importance, the
practice has led to numerous fatalities due to unsafe
procedures, negligence, and inadequate medical oversight.
