Limpopo Closes Illegal Initiation Schools | Johannesburg News
Description
Authorities in Limpopo shut down seven illegal initiation schools in Sekhukhune District, catching over 240 initiates—127 girls and 115 boys—still undergoing rites past the legal deadline. MEC Basikopo Makamu condemned the operators for ignoring the law and endangering children’s education, praising police and monitors for swift action. Most initiates are being reunited with families, with those farther away under care of traditional surgeons and expected home by Thursday. Investigations are now underway province-wide to enforce compliance.
