We were driving home from Liwonde last week and came across these two guys. We have no idea what it was all about but we did turn around and take a picture, even though it is a bit blurry.
In South Africa we had fellows like this. If I am correct, they are covered with a coating of sticky clay. They have to survive on their own completely until the clay wears off. No one is allowed to feed them or help them in any way. They have to do it all themselves. They aren't allowed to wash it of. When they have Completed this survival time they are then considerd to be adults. It is sort of a right of passage. It is a tribal thing.
