    Open AccessRujeko Samanthia Chimukuche, Thembelihle Zuma et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    South Africa is committed to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), which aims to ensure health and well-being for all.

  • Infecting minds

    Open AccessKingsley Stephen Orievulu, Sally Frampton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Exploring what shapes attitudes towards vaccines in communities provides opportunities to understand the reasoning behind how people make decisions about whether to take a vaccine in different geographical and cultural spaces.

  • Pandemic preparedness

    Open AccessSally Frampton, Kingsley Stephen Orievulu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Whilst many lessons were learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing reflection is needed to develop and maintain preparedness for future outbreaks. Within the field of infectious disease and public health there remain silos and hierarchies in interdisciplinary work, with the risk that humanities and social sciences remain on the epistemological peripheries. However, these disciplines offer insights, expertise and tools that contribute to underst…

  • Institutional Responses to Drought in a High HIV Prevalence Setting in Rural South Africa

    Open AccessKingsley Stephen Orievulu, Collins IwujiARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    In 2015, South Africa experienced one of the worst (El Niño-induced) droughts in 35 years. This affected economic activities, individual and community livelihoods and wellbeing especially in rural communities in northern KwaZulu-Natal. Drought's direct and indirect impacts on public health require urgent institutional responses, especially in South Africa's stride to eliminate HIV as a public health threat by 2030 in line with the UNAIDS goals. T…

  • (Re-engaging) the 'tyranny' of process in participatory development programming in Africa

    Kingsley Stephen OrievuluARTICLESouth African Journal of…2020

    Have the World Bank’s avowed inclusive strategies metamorphosed into renewed forms of ‘tyranny’ over local beneficiaries of development interventions? This article’s qualitative analysis of Fadama’s local beneficiaries’ experience reveals how rules, procedures, strategies and processes designed for results can culminate in difficulties for the intended beneficiaries, stifling social, economic and political empowerment. The research found that a f…
