Xhosa Manhood Is Not about Cutting the Foreskin Only

Ebook

Xhosa manhood is not about cutting the foreskin only, but is rather regarded as a collection of qualities that one should possess in order to qualify as a man – like responsibility, fear of God, good morals, respect for your ancestors, respect for your elders and young-ones, sober habits, a sense of humanity, integrity, patriotism, good manners, diligence, vigilance, resisting temptation, bravery (but a coward to abomination and disgrace), being a law-abiding citizen, and many more.

“God loves man, to such an extent that He made a covenant with man.”
The reference is the scripture in Genesis 17:09-14.

U-Thixo uyamthanda umntu oyindoda, kanga ngokuba wada wenza umnqophiso ophakathi Kwakhe (u-Thixo) kunye nendoda.
Intsusa zizibhalo ezi ngcwele kwi Genesis 17:09-14.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I am a sexagenerian, born in a village called Annshaw in the district of Middledrift in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Now a resident of e Qonce formerly known as Kimg Williams Town in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality in the Eastern Cape in South Africa for more than three decades now. I am married to my wife Hlubie with three sons and all of them are the products of Dale College Boys High School here in eQonce. I am a retired civil servent of the Eastern Cape Government, Provincial Treasury in Bhisho since year 2017. By nature I am a traditionalist who loves his culture, customs and traditions. Through my experience, knowledge and love of this custom now I feel offende and humiliated by what is happening nowadays on this noble custom. Today this custom is in the news for all the bad reasons, hence I wrote this book.

Thank you for reading this book.
