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 However, many felt this was an outdated tradition that some people can’t take seriously.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.”
