Around here informal "initiation schools" are run in rural areas during winter, where forced circumcisions are performed on all boys of a certain age (about 16 years and older). Usually these are of the box-cutter persuasion, though the really traditional ones use (blunt) spears. Sterilization of such "surgical equipment" is arbitrary at best, and many young men die of complications every year - the number is usuall in the low hundreds. Thankfully, amongst tribes here in SA, female circumcision is either not well established as a tradition, or sometimes eradicated through education, as I can only imagine how high the fatality rate would have been if this were the case.
