A 20-year-old initiate has died at Nkunzini A/A, Magwa tea plantation area on Thursday, 23 November 2023 at an illegal initiation school.
It is alleged that police were alerted by a health official about an illegal initiation school existing in the area and a 20-year-old initiate had already died due to an assault by unknown African males at the school. The initiation school was initially destroyed to close it down, but the suspect re-opened it, being not a registered traditional surgeon.
The suspect is known and is at large as police are looking for him so that he can be arrested for unlawful circumcision and murder.
