The high court has ordered the Stellenbosch municipality to allow Basotho caregivers and parents access to initiates as an impasse between the municipality and traditional forums over the initiation site continues.
“At the time of receiving the information, we, elderly men and the aspirant initiates were already camping on the site in question, as is tradition, and it was upon that information we laboured under the impression that we could move in and set camp, while the matter was being resolved in court.
“The metro police are currently standing at the two entrance points to the site, locking the gates with padlocks and not allowing cars to enter the nature reserve into the sites where the initiates are,” he said, adding that this was hindering the provision of necessities such as food, water and medical equipment.”
Acting Stellenbosch municipal manager Anna Maria de Beer told the court the municipality had been provided with names of “principals and caregivers” when the initiation started on November 25 and Makhubele's name was not on the list. De Beer said the restriction of access to the nature reserve was in line with the Veld Fires Forest Act. .
