  • Social Responses to the AIDS Epidemic in Bushbuckridge, South Africa by Jonathan James
    Shared Secrets – Concealed Sufferings: Social Responses to the AIDS Epidemic in Bushbuckridge, South Africa by Jonathan James Stadler A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree PhD In the Department of Anthropology at the UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES SUPERVISOR: Fraser McNeil August 2011 © University of Pretoria Statement by Candidate I declare that the thesis, which I hereby submit for the degree D.Phil. (Anthropology) at the University of Pretoria, is my own work and has not previously been submitted by me for a degree at another university. Where secondary material is used, this has been carefully acknowledged and referenced in accordance with University requirements. I am aware of University policy and implications regarding plagiarism. Signature: _____________________________ Date: 25 August 2011 Dedication To my wife Conny for inspiration, insight, and encouragement, and our daughter Carla, for distraction and joy Abstract From the early 1990s, rates of HIV infection increased dramatically in South Africa and by the early 2000s, AIDS emerged as the main cause of death for adult South Africans. During the first half of the 2000s, the South African government’s response to this crisis was inadequate, marked by denial and delays in implementing prevention and treatment, resulting in thousands of preventable deaths. Yet, apart from the challenges posed by the predominantly urban-based Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), the absence of a social response to this crisis is notable, especially in rural settings. This scenario forms the broad backdrop to this ethnographic study that draws on participant observation and interviews undertaken over a three-year period (2002-2005) in KwaBomba village previously in the Gazankulu Homeland, now located in the Bushbuckridge municipality of the South African lowveld.

    25 OCTOBER 2020, SUNDAY ✓ Headline STRATEGIC October 25, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 3 Opinion Page Feature Article HECKLING, NAME-CALLING INSTEAD OF ‘REASONED DISCOURSE’ Of ‘drama’ and dolomite: When gov’t spokespersons shoot from the hip By: Cathy Cañares Yamsuan - @inquirerdotnet Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:30 AM October 24, 2020 Dealing with critics is a difficult but integral part of a government spokesperson’s work. When the same official makes unseemly comments, dismisses earnest questions and lashes out at those seeking answers, or, worse, heckles a person in grief, they become targets of citizens’ outrage. Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda described researchers of the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UPMSI) as “bayaran” (paid hacks) for questioning the controversial dolomite “white sand” project in Manila Bay—and was promptly called out on social media and told to quit his job. Antiporda, a former tabloid publisher and ex-president of the National Press Club, also demanded an audit of the UPMSI budget, saying the Department of Environment and Natural Resources had paid it “half a billion [pesos] since 2016” for consultation. Benny Antiporda —SENATE PHOTO ‘Drama serye’ He subsequently apologized for his remarks, saying his emotions had gotten the better of him. But he brushed off calls for him to resign, saying only President Duterte could make him do so. Celine Pialago, spokesperson of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, drew much flak from netizens for mocking the burial of the 3-month-old child of detained activist Reina Mae Nasino as mere histrionics (“drama serye sa hapon”).

  • THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications
    CenPEG Political Situationer No. 07 10 July 2019 THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications Introduction The May 2019 mid-term elections took place amidst the now familiar problems of compromised voting transparency and accuracy linked with the automated election system (AES). Moreover, martial law was still in place in Mindanao making it difficult for opposition candidates to campaign freely. Towards election time, the systematic red-tagging and harassment of militant opposition candidates and civil society organizations further contributed to an environment of fear and impunity. In this context, the Duterte administration’s official candidates and allies won most of the contested seats nationally and locally but how this outcome impacts on the remaining three years of the administration is open to question. This early, the partisan realignments and negotiations for key positions in both the House and the Senate and the maneuverings for the 2022 presidential elections are already in place.
