Description: Male circumcision is an old Xhosa tradition that is still widely practised throughout South Africa. The Xhosa community in Eastern Cape, South Africa, values traditional male circumcision and regard it as a heritage from the ancestors, which prepares the initiate for transition to manhood. There are health problems and physical complications related to circumcision, although parental decisions regarding circumcision and the medical hygiene have been widely researched. However, scanty information exists on the psychological and social behaviours of male learners after male circumcision. The present study aims to fill the gap by exploring the psychosocial behaviors of male learners after traditional male circumcision in Eastern Cape, South Africa
