Two die at different Eastern Cape initiation schools


Two initiates have died in the Eastern Cape, just some two weeks into the winter initiation season.

The Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (CONTRALESA) has now called for those responsible to be held accountable.

According to reports by CONTRALESA, one initiate died in the Port St Johns area this weekend while the other was in the Ngqeleni location.

It is understood both initiates died of dehydration.

The traditional leaders’ body has sent a strong warning against bogus initiation schools that continue to defy the arm of the law.

In the Port St John’s incident, one person has since been arrested.

Parents are urged to work with authorities to assist in the journey of their children’s passage to manhood to reduce deaths emanating from unregistered bogus schools.

At least 20 initiates died in the Eastern Cape last year.
