Mum decided that it was time for my initiation to manhood. I wasn’t sure what this meant, but I was ready. Mum stayed home one Thursday and took us for a 30 minute ride. I was excited the smells were different, Inkozosana was there, and we were going somewhere. We got to this place; we walked a little while mum made us pee. Around 8:15am mum put Ink back in the car and took me into this building. I got to meet Ms. Deb. Then Dr. Hall. I don’t like doctors. Well I walked like a brave young warrior with my mum. We went into this room, he checked me out, touched my ballaas. It was weird, now I was afraid. Well then he gave me a few injections, mum said something about pre-op. I was really afraid. Then mum handed Dr. Hall my leash and left me. I was scared. After then I don’t know what happened. Mum picked me up about 1:30 with my sisters. I was mad. I peed in the house and showed her I was Nduna and I was back. That night mum held me and whispered, “Du, my sweet baby, you are now a man”. I guess that was initiation to manhood where ever Dr. Hall did. Grandma, my ballaas hurt terribly. I think they shrinking now. I don’t like this. Mum does check them every day to make sure they still there I guess and they haven’t fallen off. They look like they sewn together.
