Participatory Action Study Conducted at Libode Rural Communities To AN INTERVENTION STUDY TO DEVELOP A MALE CIRCUMCISION HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAMME AT LIBODE RURAL COMMUNITIES IN THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA by DOUGLAS MBUYISELO A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HEALTH SCIENCES (DPHS) (Health Promotion) at WALTER SISULU UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR TX MALULEKE CO-SUPERVISOR: Dr MJ NTSABA SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to develop an intervention health promotion programme to prevent circumcision related health problem such as sepsis, botched circumcision, dehydration, penile amputation and reduce the number of deaths. The intervention programme was aimed at promoting a safe male circumcision practice affecting boys aged 12-18 years at Libode rural communities in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This was achieved through a mixed method design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches utilizing sequential transformative strategy to allow for the convergence of multiple perspectives of the traditional male circumcision in Libode. The study was conducted in 22 schools of the rural communities of Libode because most of the participants are still attending school. Frequencies and percentages were used to analyse the quantitative data, utilizing the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). A total of 1036 participants, AmaXhosa circumcised young men (abafana) and uncircumcised boys (amakhwenkwe) participated in the cross-sectional survey, quantitative phase of the study. Qualitative phase of this study was composed of 7 focus group discussions with a total of 84 circumcised and uncircumcised male participants and 10 key informants’ interviews were conducted. In analysis qualitative data, the researcher found the most descriptive words for each topic and turned them into categories or sub-themes. Topics that related to each other were then grouped in order to reduce the number of categories and to create themes. The similar categories of data were grouped and analysed using Tesch’s method. Findings indicated that traditional circumcision is performed during winter and summer holidays in order to cater for the boys who are attending schools. The circumcision age at Libode ranges from 12 and 18 years of age which is against the Health Standards in Traditional Circumcision Act (Act No. 6 of 2001). Although the participants were aware of the complications of male circumcision in Libode, there was a high preference for traditional circumcision (92.3% of participants) to hospital circumcision. The participants were of the view that the benefits of traditional circumcision outweigh the complications or challenges related to traditional circumcision. They wanted to be socially accepted and wanted to learn about manhood values in the traditional circumcision which are values that cannot be achieved through the hospital based circumcision. As male circumcision initiation is seasonal and the intervention programme needed to be approved by different stakeholders, the testing of intervention programme could not happen before the programme was approved by all the stakeholders. ii DECLARATION I, Mbuyiselo Douglas, student number 209201061, solemnly declare that this thesis titled “An intervention study to develop a male circumcision health promotion programme at Libode rural communities in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa” is my original work.

    ISSUE 6 Sep 2016 RENEUR From a farm boy to a commercial farmer: the Case of Keith Middleton Rise of black livestock traders Jozini Auction nets R1.9 million AGRIPRENEUR | 1 THE AGRIPRENEUR QUARTERLY: A PUBLICATION BY THE SMALLHOLDER UNIT OF THE NAMC PREFACE This is the sixth publication of the Agripreneur edition from the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC). The Agripreneur aims to communicate business-related information among smallholder farmers. Agriculture is a business and therefore this edition was designed to share information on business development and to inform farmers on the dynamics of the farm business in hope of improving entrepreneurship skills of the farmers. In addition, smallholder farmers face several challenges in their business environment, which negatively affect the marketing of their commodities. Through this publication, the NAMC seeks to create a platform where farmers, particularly smallholders share their knowledge and skills, challenges, experiences, and insights with each other. It is believed that this publication will assist smallholders to learn from each other, develop strategies, adopt models, and become part of the value chain by marketing commodities that meet quality standards and are safe for consumption. Presented in Agripreneur 6 are the following topics: (1) From a farm boy to a commercial farmer: the Case of Keith Middleton of Agrifuture and Middleton Farming Business (2) Eastern Cape Communal Wool Growers Association doing it! The Region 20’s 19th Congress (3) Rise of black livestock traders: Jozini Auction nets R1.9 million (4) Konsortium-Merino: another initiative towards the success of the land reform programme? List of contributors: Stephen Monamodi Elekanyani Nekhavhambe Thulisile Khoza Kayalethu Sotsha Edited by Kayalethu Sotsha For more information on the Agripreneur Publication, contact Prof Victor Mmbengwa, Manager: Smallholder Market Access Research at NAMC.
