Story here. Excerpt:
'The money cannot change what had happened to her son.
This was the reaction of the mother of a 9-year-old boy who had suffered a botched circumcision at the Vryheid Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal after the provincial health department was ordered to pay R2.2 million to the family this week.
...
On Tuesday, Judge Achmat Jappie of the Pietermaritzburg High Court ordered that the department pay the family R2.2 million within 14 days.
The mother said her son was finding it hard to deal with the incident and had “anger issues”.'

How to avoid being sued over botched circumcisions
Don't perform them. It's that simple.
As for "anger issues"-- like it's something "wrong" with the boy. Probably they'll take to drugging him.
"We cut a piece of your dick off without your permission and fucked it up so your dick is damaged and disfigured. Sorry but that happens sometimes. Now, why are you so angry?"
Frankly, I'm surprised there are in fact not *more* murders in society.
