Walking with Bhekizizwe Peterson
Zwelidumile “Dumile” Feni’s affecting journey unfolds as he flees South Africa in 1968, seeking political exile in England until 1978, and subsequently relocating to the United States, where he painted and sculpted until his passing in 1991. The spectral echoes of his life find resonance in his daughter’s narrative within Ramadan Suleman and Bhekizizwe Peterson's film ʻZwelidumile’. This article argues that we must situate this documentary in con…
Governing Oneself Through HIV Diagnosis to Antiretrovirals
The article focuses on the experience of reinventing oneself post HIV diagnosis when living on antiretrovirals. Six women and men enlisted for antiretrovirals in South African public health facilities were interviewed, and a qualitative analysis was conducted drawing on Foucault's theory of governmentality. For the participants, the prevailing governing rationality of taking personal responsibility for their health is synonymous with self-recover…

Experiences of children heading households in the wake of the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/Aids) epidemic in South Africa
The phenomenon of child-headed households has emerged from an escalating rate of orphanhood resulting from human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). While the issue has received much media attention in South Africa, very little scientific information focusing particularly on the psychosocial experiences of the children has been published. In the present paper 14 children in Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal provinces of…
Mental Disorder in People Living with HIV/Aids in South Africa
We investigate the prevalence of mental disorder in people living with HIV/AIDS in a developing country context and examine the relationship between the presence of mental disorder and various independent variables. Nine-hundred HIV positive people were interviewed in 18 recruitment sites across five provinces in South Africa, using a cross-culturally validated diagnostic instrument and a structured socio-demographic and health information questi…
Factors associated with prevalence of mental disorder in people living with HIV/Aids in South Africa
The study examines the association between the presence of mental disorder and a range of independent variables. A sample of 900 HIV-positive individuals was administered the Composite International Diagnostic Interview to determine the presence of selected mental disorders. A structured interview assessed support received and factors that may contribute to mental disorder. Overall prevalence of mental disorder was 43.7%--though higher in Stage 3…
Guardianship of orphans and vulnerable children. A survey of current and prospective South African caregivers
Increasing numbers of orphaned and vulnerable children resulting from AIDS deaths requires practical placement strategies. While the extended family is regarded as both the most likely and the preferred option by most key planners and organizations, warnings of the limitations of this alternative have been increasing. This study assessed the views of 1400 adults (both current and prospective caregivers) regarding the placement of children. Most c…
Towards a Definition of Orphaned and Vulnerable Children
Assistance needed for the integration of orphaned and vulnerable children - views of South African family and community members
Guardianship within families is often regarded as the most viable and preferred option for orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC). However, this will place a considerably increased burden on the new caregivers of these children. This study examines whether assistance to prospective families would incline them towards incorporating children and, if so, what would act as 'threshold' incentives for them. Adults (N=1400) in diverse locations and of v…
