The Application of Health Standards in Traditional Circumcision Act (No. 6 of 2001) is an act of the provincial legislature of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
The purpose of the act is to improve hygienic standards for the rite of traditional circumcision, however there has been considerable resistance to the introduction of hygenic standards by traditional leaders.[1]
The Eastern Cape Province is the home of the Xhosa people whose traditions require circumcision as a rite of passage to adulthood.
