# The North West Provincial Initiation Coordinating Committee has shut down fourteen illegal initiation schools and rescued sixty-seven male initiates across the province as the winter initiation season starts. The Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs department’s spokesperson, Thebeetsile Keameditse says the committee is also inundated with calls from parents and police reporting cases of missing young boys who are believed to have been abducted by principals of bogus schools, who in turn demand a huge ransom from parents:
