Initiation school mired in filth

Located on Old Uitenhage Road, the school proudly claims to have had no fatalities in the past 25 years. Instead, its reputation is threatened by illegal dumping.

Jacobs, an ikhankatha says, “This is disgusting … As ikhankatha, my job is to heal and hygiene is very important. But how am I going to heal my initiates in a filthy and dirty place like this? “Families of the initiates are forced to leave their cars next to Old Uitenhage Road. It is even hard to walk through on foot.”

A truck driver who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “Arlington dumping site in Walmer and Kodoeskloof in Uitenhage are too far … We are self-employed and dumping in open spaces saves us a lot of money.”
