Older black South African women's perceptions and attitudes of long-term care
Older black people in South Africa stay a part of an extended family structure well into old age, irrespective of the family's ability to provide the necessary care. South Africa's (SA) underdeveloped infrastructure creates an increasing cause for concern as the size of the country's older population is growing. The result is a persistent and wide-reaching disparity in access to sufficient geriatric care for older people, especially across racial…

Middle Adolescents’ Motivations to Care for Older Persons in an Economically Vulnerable Community

Qualitative research was conducted to investigate the motivations of middle adolescents to care for older persons (people aged 60 years). Data from journal entries and the Mmogo-method® of 15 Setswana-speaking adolescents (aged 12–16 years) from South Africa were obtained and analyzed thematically. We found that middle…

The (Unbearable) ‘In-Betweenness’ of Being
It seems that there are no clear and mutually exclusive categories of modernity and traditionalism in modern Africa. Modernity still includes forms of traditionalism and at the same time modernity creates its own traditions in what Kaphagawani terms as C4-Contemporary Confluence of Cultures on the Continent of Africa. We need to position ourselves somewhere between the over-romanticized idea of a golden era in the past and an overly pessimistic v…
