  • How do global health research actors conceptualise inclusion in response to decolonisation calls? A scoping review

    Open AccessCornelius Ewuoso, Kenny ChiwarawaraARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    BACKGROUND: There are growing calls to decolonise global health research (GHR). One way actors respond to these calls is through placing greater emphasis on inclusion. However, there is persistent confusion concerning the inclusion forms that address the decolonisation calls in GHR, the way they do, as well as the specific areas that should be targeted (and why) for the inclusion work. METHODS: This scoping review contributes towards clarifying i…

  • Necropolitics and Slow Violence

    Open AccessKenny Chiwarawara, Paddington MutekweARTICLEAFRICAN HUMAN MOBILITY REVIEW2025

    Migrants constitute a vulnerable group of individuals. Such vulnerability is pronounced during times of crises such as a pandemic. South Africa recorded its first COVID-19 case on 5 March 2020, and the cases kept on surging, prompting the government to announce a nationwide lockdown on 23 March 2020. The COVID-19 lockdown engendered socio-economic, protection, and health challenges to the entire population but with a unique effect on vulnerable g…

    Kenny ChiwarawaraARTICLEAfrican Identities2025Cited by: 1References: 35

    This paper examines the character and social organisation of community protests in South Africa. South Africa’s protests have been critiqued for their supposedly sporadic and unorganised nature befitting of the descriptor, ‘popcorn protests’. Based on the findings of this study, the researcher argues that although these protests are short-lived the movements behind them are not. A closer examination of the processes that activists follow before a…

    Open AccessKenny ChiwarawaraARTICLESocial Dynamics2024References: 33

    This paper examines how struggles for housing and other basic services such as water and electricity are characterised in South Africa. There has been a shift in categorising local protests from the previously accepted "service delivery protests" to other phrases such as "local political protests" or "local protests" or "community protests." Drawing from data gathered through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions in Gugulethu and Khayel…

  • Violent protests’ in South Africa

    Kenny ChiwarawaraARTICLEPolitikon2023Cited by: 2References: 12

    Violence is a crucial feature associated with service delivery protests in South Africa. The media and scholars have often referred to the rising violence trend in service delivery protests. However, the definition of violent protests is too broad; it fails to paint a correct picture of the violence. Previously, the general tendency was to classify these protests as either peaceful or violent – a simple dichotomy. Therefore, scholars have develop…

  • Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Representative Structures in South Africa

    Open AccessMulugeta F Dinbabo, Yanga Zembe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Refugee Studies2020Cited by: 4References: 5

    Understanding and identifying the functions, roles, responsibilities, accountability, and decision-making processes within the representative structures of any community is important. Yet, most of the existing studies in South Africa do not provide sufficient knowledge or insights about the representative structures and communities of refugees and asylum-seeking populations in the country. In general, there is inadequate discussion on the topic i…
