Abstract
- The article reports on Bonani Yamani who is set to take on his parents' beliefs on circumcision over the court. Yamani will face his father and Eastern Cape traditional leaders in the Bhisho Equality Court in a legal fight that could give Xhosa boys a say in the way they are circumcised. He was subjected to circumcision by his father and was forced to eat the skin cut from his penis as part of the Xhosa tradition, though it was against the constitutional rights and his Christian convictions.
