# The EFF in Gauteng has welcomed the City of Tshwane’s policy granting special leave to employees undergoing ukuthwasa, the sacred initiation into traditional healing. The EFF says the policy marks a major step in recognising African spiritual practices in formal institutions. The party urges other government spheres and the private sector to follow suit, affirming that indigenous knowledge systems deserve equal dignity and institutional support within South Africa’s broader healthcare and workplace policies.
