    Although too young to take part in the festivities and whipping, young girls tie up their tops mimicking their elder sisters and mothers. Views[500] Showing the scars of their whipping are relatives of the boy. The scars are to show their devotion to the boy about to be a man. They know that as a man he will be there to help whenever they are in trouble as they have taken pain for him. Views[212] The Maza, men who have already come of age, wait in the shade holding switch sticks. Women of the tribe will approach and goad the Maza into whipping them.
