  1. Can you imagine the outcry if 50 white kids would walk around with their faces covered in BLACK? The politicians, media and every BLACK person would shout RACISM and sh1t in their pants..
    The double standards in this cuntry(yes) makes me sick!

  2. why ? other provinces are doing better by working with the department of health, why does the Eastern Cape not doing the same, I chose takingy kids to the hospital because going to the bush isn't mandatory my culture. Every culture should put human life above all else

  3. Even when it goes "right", it's removing 20,000 of the 26,000 nerve endings in the member, and this is before considering 200+ boys die each year to this barbarism and countless more live with issues to their sexual function such as skin bridges and painful erections from too-tight cuts. Just ban it already. Come on India be brave, ban infant genital cutting.
