KwaZulu-Natal Govt. Rolls Out Circumcision Plan
Jan. 19, 2010
The KwaZulu-Natal government will start a massive male circumcision programme before the end of this year to help prevent the spread of HIV, Premier Zweli Mkhize announced.
"We believe that circumcision will help us to reduce HIV infections. Before the end of this year, we will be counting the number of people who have undergone the procedure," he said.
Mkhize was addressing more than 100 traditional heads and government leaders who gathered at Pietermaritzburg's Royal Show Grounds on Tuesday to discuss reviving the custom of male circumcision.
