Ukusoka

ukusoka kuyisiko lokudlula elibonisa ukungena noma ukwamukelwa eqenjini noma emphakathini. Kungukukwamukelwa  ngokomthetho kubantu abadala emphakathini noma enye yezingxenye zawo ezingokomthetho. Ngokujulile, kungaphinde kusho ukuguqulwa lapho umuntu oqalayo 'uzalwa kabusha' abe yindima entsha. Izibonelo zemikhosi yokugcotshwa zingahlanganisa ubhapathiso lobuKristu noma ukuqinisekiswa, i-bar yamaJuda noma i-bat mitzvah, ukwamukelwa enhlanganweni yobuzalwane, inhlangano yomshoshaphansi noma uhlelo lwenkolo, noma ukuphothula esikoleni noma ukuqeqeshwa kokuqashwa. Umuntu owenza umkhosi wokusungula emicikilishweni yendabuko, njengaleyo evezwe kulezi zithombe, ubizwa ngokuthi isokana.https://www.gcis.gov.za/initiation-practice
