"In the ritual, a group of young men torture and kill a bull with their bare hands, pulling the terrified and struggling animal to the ground, ripping out his tongue, shoving handfuls of dirt into his mouth, tearing out his eyes, mutilating his genitals

Zuma will do nothing, he is worthless. Remember, he's a rapist who got away with his crime because he's male and the other males let him walk.

As for the ceremony, people need to learn to adapt their culture and "traditions" to walk away from what harms others, period. Just because something is a "tradition" doesn't render it good nor right for all involved.

NO MORE EXCUSES!

These people need to be taught that tormenting animals & tearing them to pieces DOES NOT make them a MAN it makes them CRIMINALS of the WORST kind. They have been BRAINWASHED over many years & I guess it will take TIME to reform them.

These stupid barbarians has to proof their manhood by killing a bull bare handed. Shame, and what if a tiny malaria mosquito comes a long ..... where is the manhood now ......six feet under. The method they use is just as ridiculous, they choke the bull by forcing soil down his throat. Any person can choke from a sweet. Now how is that for illogical thinking from these brainless people of Africa. They dont have much between the ears, but lots between the legs and very overpopulated. Remember they did not take over South Africa because they are so intelligent, because they are so many.
