About
MY PRACTICE article explores the concept of cultural memory and identity in the Basotho
initiation ceremonies. It discusses the importance of mothers in the upbringing
of boys like myself, who over time become men in a society that has endured
significant historical injusticES
These injustices still affect many Basotho families in the present day in South
Africa. Some of these injustices included – but are not limited to – men having
to leave their homes in rural areas to find work in urban areas, often away
from their families, so that they may be able to provide for their them
financially. The absence of fathers, due to many factors, including death, led
to women raising their children without the help of male or father figures
MOHLANG BAKGUTLANG, MEANS THE DAY WHEN THE INITIATES RETURN FROM THE MOUNTAINS AND EVERYONE IS WAITING TO SEE THEIR RETURN.
