Zulu teenage boys have to undergo a bizarre circumcision rite to become men. Normally in Zulu, these boys will be abducted and then taken to a secret place that can only be accessed by elderly women who bring them food and drinks. They are then covered in white dust before being allowed to use sharp blades or rocks to circumcise themselves. As a result, most of them generally end up having disfigured genitals; and some even die during the process. The wounds are normally treated and dressed using mad or animal waste and may take up-to four months before these boys are completely healed.
