Ritual circumcision in South Africa

Male circumcision (ukusoka) is a phase that a boy has to go through before he is declared as a man. This practice has been very popular amongst the Xhosa culture and it has also created a lot of mixed feelings amongst South Africans and that is because some boys have lost their lives during this practice. Certain public figures of South Africa have gone through this practice namely former President Nelson Mandela and most recently the Deputy Minister of Police Fikile Mbalula.

It was during the ukweshwama ritual which created a lot of clashes between the traditional Zulu’s and the Animal Right Africa organization, the Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini announced that male circumcision is to be re-introduced amongst the Zulu community. To the young generation the King's announcement was a surprise because for as far as they know circumcision was not for the Zulu nation.

Male circumcision is not new for the Zulu nation, it is a ritual that was practiced decades ago and was banned during the rule of King Shaka Zulu who died in 1828. King Shaka Zulu decided to ban Zulu male circumcision because it disturbed Zulu male who were being prospered to become Zulu warriors since the practice lasted three months.

During this ritual young Zulu male will live their homes and go to the hill (entabeni) where their will be no females but men who are matured enough to help the young men undergo the circumcision practice. During this practice the young men will also be given lessons on how to live life responsibly after being certified as men which is why they had to spend three months in the mountain, it was more than just circumcision.

A Gift for the King

President Jacob Zuma, King Goodwill Zwelithini and the former national intelligence chief Billy Masetlha—these are the political heavyweights being courted by the man behind the controversial male circumcision device known as the Tara KLamp.

Ibrahim Sildky Yusuf, a Zambian national living in South Africa, is still wanted in his native country on a slew of criminal charges.

His company, Intratrek, holds exclusive distribution rights to the Tara KLamp, a questionable male circumcision device which the KwaZulu-Natal health department has procured for its mass campaign to prevent HIV transmission.

Last month the Sunday Times' isiZulu edition carried a front-page story revealing that Yusuf was the mystery donor of a R1-million Lexus SUV to King Goodwill Zwelithini. It quoted Yusuf as saying the gift was "a token of respect" which “comes from the bottom of my heart”.

Yusuf told the newspaper that he had never met the king before, contradicting royal spokesperson Prince Mbonisi Zulu's claim that their relationship was "quite close".

Zulu denied that the king had ever encouraged the use of the Tara KLamp, although he did claim that the male circumcision programme involving the device would have failed dismally without the king’s support.

But Zwelithini explicitly endorsed the Tara KLamp in a speech to the KwaZulu-Natal legislature on February 22. The New Age quoted him as saying: "I know there are critics of the Tara KLamp. When I made the announcement about circumcision, I mentioned that this should be practised in a hygienic manner. The Tara KLamp helps promote hygiene during the performance of circumcision. No one should die as a result of the Tara KLamp."

Zulu referred the M&G's questions to a health department official, Sandile Tshabalala, as "a matter of protocol". Tshabalala "works hand in hand with the king" in the male circumcision programme, Zulu said.

Tshabalala did not respond to questions.
