King champions circumcision
The King made this appeal on Tuesday last week during the uLwaluko Homecoming Ceremony held in Kokstad
KING Goodwill Zwelithini has appealed to all men in KZN to undergo circumcision as part of ongoing efforts to combat the spread of HIV/Aids.
The King made this appeal on Tuesday last week during the uLwaluko Homecoming Ceremony held in Kokstad.
Zwelithini attended the event to welcome scores of young men who have successfully undergone the practice of ukusoka (circumcision).
The King’s call is in line with the decree he made in 2009 when he revived the tradition of circumcision, which was backed by the KZN government.
Zwelithini urged government to ensure that indigenous knowledge is used in conjunction with the best of Western medical practices to ensure that the fight against the spread of the HIV/Aids is ultimately successful.
MEC for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Nomsa Dube-Ncube, thanked the King for his visionary leadership in reviving this practice.
