In the Xhosa culture, every boy has to go through initiation school in order to be considered a true man.

This is one of the ancient traditions kept and celebrated by many tribes around the African continent.

Lady goes through initiation school with brother

Mzansi appreciated the rawness of the Xhosa culture after a lady shared a glimpse of her brother's journey to manhood. This tradition's procedure is very sacred and must not be broadcast to the general public, which is why the movie Inxeba: The Wound was widely protested.

Nikita Muba showed another beautiful side to the tradition. As her brother's twin sister, they are considered to be one person. Therefore, she had to walk the journey with him.
