“The habit in our schools is nothing if it's not initiation: twelve years of initiation, sixteen years in some cases. When you start with play school and then you still have to go to diversity education. It is about initiating people in particular ways of thinking, so initiation is about that, about initiating men in particular kinds of masculinity, so this is always necessary, but death is not necessary. Why in South Africa do we have do we always seem to have a connection between violence and masculinity?”
