Mass circumcision ceremonies in South Africa have left more than 43 boys dead and dozens more mutilated.
The rituals – known in the country as ‘Ulwaluko’ – are carried out twice a year at initiation schools with the intention of preparing young men for adulthood.
When the youngsters arrive, they are taken away from their families and smothered in white clay.
They then spend three weeks transitioning from boys to men before being returned home.
As part of the ceremony, the initiates are meant to be circumcised by traditional surgeons who have years of experience.
But many circumcisions are instead carried out by unskilled people working at illegal initiation schools who use old spears, scissors or razor blades to perform horrific surgery.
Ulwaluko can be deadly. While this year local media reported that 43 boys were killed in the ceremonies, in 2024, the combined deaths of both winter and summer rituals was 93 boys with 11 total penis amputations – with some rogue 'surgeons' found to perform the operation without anaesthetic.
A report commissioned by the South African government recorded 322 deaths of young boys between 2021 and 2024, as well as thousands of hospitalisations and amputations.
It laid the blame at the door of criminal gangs who have set up unscrupulous illegal initiation schools who use untrained 'surgeons' and 'nurses' who botch the circumcisions.
The main causes of death are gangrene, sepsis and severe dehydration – though some unwilling boys have been stabbed, drowned or beaten to death.
There are hundreds of reports a year of illegal schools kidnapping boys as young as 12 to circumcise them, before forcing parents to pay to have their sons returned home.

Rusty razor blades and botched circumcisions?
These highly advanced peoples must be taking their cues from the Religion of Peace and their violence against girls.
Im sure youre aware but in the US we get our surgeons from medical schools. It does make a difference.
Wow, looks like they’re trying to give our sex-change establishment a run for their money.
Somebody needs retraining in proper procedure and basic hygiene. If one child was bleeding out. did the “surgeon” just keep on cutting the next boy in line anyway?
How quaint.
You should see what they do to girls!
Nawww, thanks anyway. I don’t want to see that.
You meaning everybody!😃
Stitch them all together, rub them and you have a suitcase.
Ul-whacko ?
I really felt for the guys in RVN who had it done as adults.
At least they sent them out to the hospital ship to get it done and recover.
One twisted character had them put his removed parts in a container of alcohol that he carried around to show off.
All cultures are equal and we must import all these Africans in to white Christian nations.
There once was a surgeon name Keith
Who circumcised men with his teeth.
It wasn’t for leisure
Or sexual pleasure,
He just wanted to get at the cheese.
(ooooohhh!)
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy,
Was he.
(ohhh!)
Spider bites and thorns puncturing skin is known to cause sepsis, gangrene, etc.
In case the people, who expect to live a charmed and perfect life, don’t know....the world is a dangerous place..
So while the media celebrates those who escape death while doing dangerous things, the general population dies doing mundane things...like slipping and falling in the shower, choking on food, falling off ladders, untreated UTI’s, looking down the barrels of loaded guns, racing cars on the freeways.....
Wow, what an apt picture to bring in…
I may never eat calamari again without thinking of your post.
And how many of these is our government importing into our country?
LOL!
If it was women everyone would be demanding the deaths of these people. Instead we get smartmouthed assholes here making jokes at the boys who were damaged and died from complications.
