| Abstract | Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a global problem that interrupts the willpower to encourage the healthy development of children in societies. Although CSA is a global issue, culture and tradition play a significant role on how people perceive and respond to the abuse. This qualitative study used an exploratory design to understand the intersection of culture, tradition, and delayed disclosure in the context of the Vhavenda tribe. Five adult survivors of CSA, seven caregivers of survivors of CSA, four social workers, and two traditional leaders were purposively sampled to participate in the study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and thereafter, it was arranged and analysed thematically. The findings of the study contribute to a deeper understanding of the cultural dynamics at play and highlights the need for culturally sensitive interventions to facilitate timely disclosure, support survivors, and foster protective environments. Indigenous systems should be recognised and strengthened to fight, preserve and protect children from sexual abuse. |
