MANY PEOPLE ARE VERY ANGRY ABOUT  XHOSA INITIATON (ULWALUKO) MOVIES




many people  are very angry because of the gay Xhosa initiation love story inxeba (the wound) is getting so much scrutiny across social media . other reasons for the backlash are the movie's in depth look at the tradition Xhosa initiation ceremony , as well as the fact that it is directed by a white man John Trengove.


people feel so betrayed and disrespected because  of their custom exposed in media since they believe that no one should know about it, while some people say that it should be exposed since it helps people to know the advantages and disadvantages of this custom.

South Africa's Inxeba  takes a stark, unflinching look at black African masculinity by taking a taboo subject in societies and situating it hushed setting ,Xhosa initiation from boyhood to manhood. what do think? is it time South Africans began having a conversation around this tradition, or should it remain something of a guarded secret to outsiders?

    This is the old way of building the african nation called isixhosa amadoda ...this is a secret thing that shouldn''t be shared or known by someone who never have gone to the initiation school .
    We are angry and very angry with much anger ..this is our culture and the more it is publicly exposed we are losing dignity.
