Mzansi people have mixed feelings about this traditional norm
Some explained that some families do this to determine whether a child belongs to their bloodline. If the baby is relaxed, it is of their bloodline; if not, the woman has some explaining to do. However, many felt this was an outdated tradition that some people can’t take seriously.
Read some of the mixed comments:
@Naytholo asked:
“So if the child doesn't belong to the clan, they gonna harm him?”
@bzingers does not trust it:
“This isn’t effective at all.”
@yeyeye_gugu is an expert:
“Nonsense. Cows are generally not violent.”
@Mfoka_Mlangeni wondered:
“How did our forebears come up with this method”
@sipuku_sa_sotra shared:
“ yeah, unless the person who is the actual father happens to share your DNA.”
