Kabelo Mabalane has joined forces with government to encourage more men to get circumcised.

The musician has become an ambassador for the campaign saying it's an issue that he feels passionately about.

Sharing his own story with fans in a statement Kabelo took a trip down memory lane to when he decided to get circumcised.

The kwaito star explained that he decided to have the procedure done after speaking to friends after school, and realised that he was on the only one from his circle of friends that hadn't been circumcised.

“I went to a hospital for an upgrade and I was pleasantly surprised that there was minimal pain,” Kabelo said.

The reason Kabelo decided to become a voice for the campaign is to promote a healthier lifestyle among men and women.

 “Now I am a vocal advocate for circumcision as part of a healthier lifestyle for men and women alike, and to make people aware that we are still not beating the war on HIV infections."
