'South African experts have urged government to strengthen standardisation of circumcision procedures as the act claimed a total of 24 lives since June.

According to local custom, circumcisions are normally viewed as traditional passage for young boys to enter manhood.

Dr Van Merwe, a Surgeon who had perfumed successful operation on some boys said on Friday that the government must regulate circumcision practice while preserving the traditions.'
