flag Dozens of South African boys die each year in unsafe traditional circumcision rites due to unregulated, unsterile practices.

flag Dozens of boys and young men in South Africa are dying annually during traditional circumcision rites, with at least 48 deaths reported in the latest cycle. flag Unsafe practices at unregulated initiation schools—due to unsterile tools, dehydration, septic wounds, and lack of medical care—are major causes. flag Despite cultural significance and social pressure, many participants enroll in illegal schools, sometimes before age 16, due to cost and tradition. flag Authorities face challenges enforcing safety standards in remote areas, and deaths often go uninvestigated. flag The next initiation season is set for June.
