Circumcision in Madagascar
Madagascar practised circumcision like all over the country. If one boy is not circumcised, he will not a true man. This custom usually take place from June to September. It’s a family celebration. In some region in Madagascar like in the south, it’s a communal, festivity every seven year it is called “SAMBATRA”
Generally Malagasy people celebrate the happening by inviting relatives, friends and neighbours. They sacrifice oxen, ducks or chickens. There’s a lot of eating and drinking; they sing and dance.
After the operation, the guest offer toys or money to the boy who may be very young
