Man’s baby DNA cow video goes viral
Twitter user @Mr_MbulaziSA shared a video showing a baby sitting on the ground surrounded by cattle. He captioned the video in support of the cultural DNA testing tradition.
“The most effective DNA test.”
Mzansi people have mixed feelings about this traditional norm
Some explained that some families do this to determine whether a child belongs to their bloodline or not. If the baby is relaxed, it is of their bloodline; if not, the woman has some explaining to do. However, many felt this was an outdated tradition that some people can’t take seriously.
Read some of the mixed comments:
@Naytholo asked:
“So if the child doesn't belong to the clan, they gonna harm him?”
@bzingers does not trust it:
“This isn’t effective at all.”
@yeyeye_gugu is an expert:
“Nonsense. Cows are generally not violent.”
@Mfoka_Mlangeni wondered:
“How did our forebears come up with this method”
@sipuku_sa_sotra shared:
“ yeah, unless the person who is the actual father happens to share your DNA.”
