we went back into the townships today to see a ceremony for a small group of ema xhosa men called 'abakwetha'...a traditional right of passage where they spend three to four weeks alone in a self-built tent and then return to their families as men (google it for more details, children read this blog)...sorta like a bar mitzvah only without the $10k in gifts, hebrew, or a trip to israel...
