Eastern Cape premier calls for stricter monitoring at initiation schools

Eastern Cape premier calls for stricter monitoring at initiation schools By Lulamile Feni - 23 December 2020 Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane. Image: FILE Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane has called for intensification of monitoring in initiation schools  to ensure there is no increase of Covid-19  and no subsequent deaths. Already two traditional surgeons have died of the virus, and about 20 initiates have tested positive. Meanwhile  the Eastern Cape has recorded five deaths of initiates due to botched circumcisions (not related  to Covid 19).  “This is a serious outcome for us and we are looking into this matter as the provincial Coronavirus Command Council in consultation with traditional leaders,” said Mabuyane at a media briefing in Bhisho on Tuesday.
