Contralesa not happy with continued suspension of initiations

The Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (Contralesa) is not happy with continued suspension of initiations . Traditional leaders and surgeons in the Eastern Cape have expressed disappointment at yet another suspension of the circumcision custom by government. The suspension is due to an increase in coronavirus infections in the province. Contralesa Chairperson in the Eastern Cape , Chief Mwelo Nonkonyana, 'says government's delay in opening the summer initiation season has led to the mushrooming of illegal initiation schools in the province. He also says there is no scientific proof that the second wave of COVID-19 will be caused by initiation schools. He spoke to us.
