Eleven-Year-Old Circumcised at School | Nigeria News

A shocking and horrifying incident has rocked South Africa: an 11-year-old boy at Sinqobile Primary School was allegedly forcibly circumcised by four older students during break time. The terrified child remained silent until his mother noticed his pain and limping, prompting him to reveal the assault. The attackers, seventh graders, reportedly tied a ribbon around his penis before cutting off his foreskin, threatening violence if he spoke out. His mother has filed a criminal case, and police are investigating for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The Department of Education is also reviewing the case, while school officials condemn the attack as a violation of children’s safety. This disturbing event echoes dangerous, unregulated traditional circumcision practices that have led to deaths and injuries in some initiation schools — raising urgent questions about protection, accountability, and cultural boundaries.
