Ludwe Vusani will observe as the tip of his young son‘s finger is hacked off by a village elder with a long, sharp knife.

For Vusani, 22, an artist‘s assistant who lives in East London, this traditional Thembu practice is a long-held tradition which he, his own father, grandfather and great-grandfathers endured for the sake of culture.

    • ok i think theres a difference between the tip of a finger and cutting at the knuckle like that picture suggests, its no different than circumsition.
