Ndabezitha Nsizwa Mahlangu speaks on Initiation Practices on #Parenting

For many South African families, initiation is a deeply respected cultural rite of passage that marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. It carries generations of tradition, identity, values and responsibility. Yet, every year, heartbreaking stories emerge of young initiates losing their lives or suffering severe injuries at illegal or unregulated initiation schools.
How do families honour this important cultural practice while ensuring the safety and well-being of their children? What role do parents play in asking the right questions, choosing registered initiation schools, and preparing their children for this significant milestone? Today, we're having a respectful conversation about culture, safety and parenting in modern South Africa.
