A world without violence and domination, from Athens to Kyiv
Can we imagine a world without wars, violence and domination? What does it take to build such a society? I pose the above questions as an attempt to dialogue with Jeffrey Alexander's analysis of the paradoxical nature of the modern ‘civil sphere’ in a time of local and global turmoil. In this dialogue, I restate some of the key claims from Alexander's analysis and offer possible ways of conceptualising and re-imagining a more humanistic, responsi…
Sociology and Public Struggles
What does a critical public sociology look like? What is the subject matter of a critical public sociology? The idea of a “public sociology” is not new to our readers. Since Herbert Gans’s presiden
Decolonisation and Multiculturalism
What does it mean to decolonise education in a multicultural society? Can this society be decolonised after all? In this article, I ask these questions and try to provide some answers. I draw on qualitative responses from some graduate students in South Africa to argue that decolonisation is mainly about ensuring multicultural sensitivity. As both a process and practice, decolonisation challenges cultural and epistemic ethnocentrism in significan…

Violent Cultures, Acting Citizens and the Passive State
In this article, I discuss how the use of violence has become a mechanism for mostly poor citizens in contemporary South Africa to contest the moral functioning of government and state institutions. More essentially, the article locates the place of violence within the broader state-society relationship. I argue that this interaction between the state and ordinary citizens in South Africa reveals the everyday appropriation of violence by the poor…
[De] constructing South Africa's Jacob Zuma led ANC
Based on the Afrocentric perspective, the central thesis of this paper is that if the African National Congress (ANC) is to evade the wrath of coalition politics in the near future (year 2019); it needs more than its traditional support base and appeals for liberation rhetoric. Like other liberation movements cum ruling political parties in Southern Africa, indications are that ANC cannot save itself from the brutality of competitive politics and…
The Paradox of Civil Policing in Contemporary South Africa
This article is a study of democratic policing in contemporary South Africa. The attempt in this article is to offer a scholarly analysis on the nature of civil policing in South Africa. Empirically, our focus is on everyday observations and also public discourse shaped and transmitted within the civil and political realms of the broader South African community. We argue that civil policing and security in South Africa is typified by a paradox th…
The Nation and its Politics
This article is an attempt to reflect on nationalist politics and its accompanying political imaginations in South Africa, in the process questioning the assertion of a single ‘rainbow nation’, by locating the ways in which community is imagined in post-apartheid South Africa. It looks at the ‘other’ South Africa, which has yet to realise the gains of political modernity. For these citizens of South Africa, modernity is but a distant project. Its…

Community-based Responses to HIV/Aids in South Africa
Community-based Responses to HIV/Aids in South Africa
Children community radio programmes are among the very few programmes in Southern Africa that seek to raise HIV/AIDS knowledge and awareness on children. These programmes are designed to enable children to learn useful life skills as well as contribute to broader public awareness on issues facing Southern African children in the context of poverty and the HIV epidemic. The idea of ‘child-participation’ forms the core of children radio programmes.…
A Process Evaluation of a Capacity-Building Project for Comprehensive HIV/Aids Management in Nkonkobe Local Municipality, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
South Africa has put in place policies to curb the HIV and AIDS pandemic and adopted the multisectoral approach to effectively implement the policies and manage the scourge in terms of prevention, treatment, care and support. However, the implementation of the policies has been hampered by lack of human capacity. This article focuses on the results of a process or implementation evaluation of a capacity-building project in the management of HIV a…
Radio broadcasting in the era of HIV/Aids
In this study, we assessed the relevance and effectiveness of radio broadcasting as a strategy that facilitates the adoption and use of safer sexual practices among students at a South African university. Based on ethnographic data, the article highlights that the essential and critical contribution of campus radio lies in its ability to create a social space for HIV/AIDS communication. The overall aim of this study was to assess the relationship…

Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Cash Transfer Programme for Orphaned Children in Zimbabwe
In Nigeria, in spite of the undeniable and impressive changes in educational attainment, large proportions of females continue to marry in adolescence.For example, in the year 2005, about half of all the women aged 15-19 were married by age 18 in the country.Despite this situation, research studies in Nigeria tend to focus disproportionately on the unmarried and on premarital sexual activities.Indeed, married adolescents and young women have rece…

A qualitative design was adopted with the aim of documenting and capturing the views and narratives of the participants. Data was collected through focus-group discussions and personal interviews with thirty (30) children who were purposively sampled. The results of the study show t…
