BONDAGE OF TRADITIONS

Africans are known for their many traditions and customs, those in my society are not of any exception. This is so because in the recent past their was some traditional circumcision ceremony which is actually carried out after every 5 years.The ceremony had been awaited for long and therefore  when time reached their was rejoicement everywhere. Because of its time span, those that are usuall part of the ceremony in most occassions tend to be small boys aged from 6-12 years.This is rather dangerous because after the initioates have been circumcised they ussually are kept in a secluded place away from their female relatives and friends, of which in many occassions is in a forest thus exposing them to dangers such as getting dangerous disease like malaria, typhoid and many more.
