Confronting the cuts in foreign HIV/Aids funding
The role of the social sciences and humanities in pandemic preparedness responses
The COVID-19 pandemic, particularly from 2020 to mid-2022, debilitated the management of the HIV epidemic in Africa. The multiple effects included well-documented HIV service interruptions, curtailment of HIV prevention programmes, the associated marked increase in both the risk for HIV infection among key populations and vulnerability of sub-populations (e.g. adolescent girls and young women) who are the focus of these programmes and - as import…
Psychosocial and health risk outcomes among orphans and non-orphans in mixed households in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
A growing body of research warns of the social challenges facing orphans. We examined this issue focusing on differences between orphans and non-orphans from mixed households, that is, households that comprise both orphans and non-orphans. We examined whether orphans reported worse psychosocial outcomes, caregiver interactions and health risk behaviours than non-orphans in mixed households. The study sample comprised 134 children (61 non-orphans,…
Integration of community home based care programmes within national primary health care revitalisation strategies in Ethiopia, Malawi, South-Africa and Zambia
BACKGROUND: In 2008, the WHO facilitated the primary health care (PHC) revitalisation agenda. The purpose was to strengthen African health systems in order to address communicable and non-communicable diseases. Our aim was to assess the position of civil society-led community home based care programmes (CHBC), which serve the needs of patients with HIV, within this agenda. We examined how their roles and place in health systems evolved, and the p…
Children’s psychosocial wellbeing in the context of HIV/Aids and poverty
The results muster additional evidence for moving beyond narrow definitions of vulnerability associated exclusively with orphanhood to consider the multitude of material, social and relational factors affecting the psycho-social well-being of children in general who are living in circumstances of poverty and HIV and AIDS
Comparative economic positions of orphan, non-orphan and mixed households
The HIV and AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa has orphaned many children, leaving the extended family responsible for their care. We use findings from a longitudinal study on child welfare in South Africa to compare the economic status of households that support only orphaned children (orphan households), those that support both orphan and non-orphan children (mixed households), and households that support only children whose parents are alive …
Weighing up the burden of care on caregivers of orphan children
This paper assesses the burden on orphan caregivers relative to non-orphan caregivers in the context of high HIV/AIDS mortality in South Africa. It presents findings from the third round of a study conducted in the Amajuba District of KwaZulu-Natal between 2003 and 2007. Significant differences were found between orphan and non-orphan caregivers; the former being more likely to care for more children, have poorer health, higher levels of chronic …
Household dynamics and socioeconomic conditions in the context of incident adolescent orphaning in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
We compared demographics, socioeconomic status, and food insecurity between households with and without recent orphans in a region of high HIV/AIDS mortality in South Africa. We recruited a cohort of 197 recent orphans and 528 non-orphans ages 9-15 and their households using stratified cluster sampling. Households were classified into three groups: orphan-only (N=50); non-orphan-only (N=377); and mixed (N=210). Between September 2004 and May 2007…
Early impacts of orphaning
We recruited a cohort of 157 recent orphans and 480 non-orphans aged 9–15 in a region of high HIV/AIDS mortality in South Africa using stratified cluster sampling to determine the impact of recent parental death on health and food insecurity of school-going orphans compared to non-orphans over time. Between September 2004 and June 2007, household heads, caregivers, and children were interviewed at three annual intervals. Bivariate associations an…
The impact of ART scale upon health workers
This study explores the effects of antiretroviral treatment (ART) programmes on health-care human resources in South Africa. The study included two parts, a questionnaire-based survey of 269 health workers published earlier and a qualitative study of 21 purposively selected health practitioners involved in ART scale up. Contrary to what has been presented in literature, our survey showed that health workers in ART programmes experienced higher le…
Vulnerability of orphan caregivers vs. non-orphan caregivers in KwaZulu-Natal
Using data from a cohort of schoolgoing children, their households and caregivers (the Amajuba Child Health and Wellbeing Project, ACHWRP) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, we compared demographic characteristics, care burden, health, physical function and social capital of caregivers of orphans (n = 300) with those of non-orphans (n = 298). This analysis presents cross-sectional findings from questions for caregivers that were added for the study'…
Vulnerability interventions in the context of multiple stressors
Health management’ in the private sector in the context of HIV/Aids
‘Health management’ of employees is becoming a common imperative for companies that do business in regions where there is an HIV epidemic. Private sector initiatives in South Africa have evolved considerably. However, core components of HIV/AIDS‐oriented workplace programmes, voluntary counselling and testing and anti‐retroviral treatment, are not as effective as expected, despite considerable investment in them. There is some evidence to suggest…
Why bio-physical and social scientists can speak the same language when addressing Sustainable Development
Anthropologies of the South
This contribution attempts to pinpoint the concerns voiced for and against 'anthropologies of the South', and to sort out the confusion that has arisen in this debate. I suggest that the notion of specific anthropologies is ultimately self defeating, indeed, is a superficial issue, in a debate that is driven primarily by 'southern' anthropologists' concerns about the intellectual and political implications of advocating a reflexive approach to so…
A chief by the people
The article explores the conflictual relationship among the Basotho chieftaincy, state, and nation in historical perspective. That history includes consideration of the recent and still unresolved political crisis in Lesotho. The current meaning ofSesotho, the 'whole life process' of the Basotho people, is examined in the context of the divergence between state and nation, between chiefs and people, between region and locality, and between modern…
The State and National Identity in Lesotho
Should Lesotho be incorporated into the new South Africa?' is a much debated question throughout Lesotho. It is actually an old question, but its currency today stems from the political transformation of South Africa. Proponents point to Lesotho's economic dependence on South Africa, and tenuous existence as a state since its birth in the 19th century, to suggest that citizens might be better off if Lesotho became part of South Africa. Responses …

Grassland degradation and livestock rearing in Lesotho
This study is written in the context of marked intervention by external agencies, during the last 20 years. This has taken place within the broad concept of ‘sustainable development’, with the stated desire to ‘develop’ Lesotho's livestock economy, and to conserve the country's grasslands. The paper emphasises the need for social scientific analyses to engage with concepts of the natural sciences which underwrite ‘development’ and ‘conservation ‘…
Çonservation in southern Africa
In the light of numerous debates over conservation, a perspective Is provided to improve the contributions of social sci. entists. In particular, it is argued that the concept of ‘conservation’ Is fraught with contradictions and, In view of these, a re-appraisal of how the question of conservation is approached by social scientists is necessary
Community video
Costas Criticos and Tim Quinlan are South African ethnographic filmmakers who use community video method in their work, In this paper they report on their most recent work which documents the life of Indian Fishermen in Durban, South Africa, and the life of herders in the alpine regions of Lesotho. They explore the attraction of community video to the academic which offers the potential of a powerful means of political, cultural and philosophical…
