At night you separate the calf and cow, so that you can milk the cow in the morning. Then in the morning, if you don’t want to milk the cow, you just let the calf go straight to the mother so he can suckle. Ukugqithisa means to allow him to pass, to allow the calf to go to its mother… So you are there to milk the cow, but instead you are just letting the calf through, not milking. You look like you are going to do your job, but you are not actually doing it.” - Xaks Dabula (co-researcher) i Abstract Background: People with disabilities in impoverished rural areas of South Africa struggle to access healthcare, despite the right to health established by the Constitution and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
