    A urine-drinking initiation ceremony for new undergraduates has caused outrage in Mozambique. One student said: "The initiators cut our hair. It was horrific. They forced human urine and faeces into our mouths. We were bathed with urine and they rubbed our noses with faeces."pic.twitter.com/u3LyVAzFrY

        Sad. Not Africa only. But hazing is also known to be common in many colleges in the west. Babaric world we live in.

        This is not initiation this is teasing and bullying. Its a disgusting way of teasing the initiated. The initiators have to answer for the inhumane act

        While most of the world's nations are working hard on improving their socio- economic, political and scientific statuses, Africa is still at war with herself. worst of all some countries are still swallowed up by barbaric cultures in this 21st century! absurd
