(United Kingdom) Christian Ahlund (Sweden) Jeremy Sarkin (South Africa) ttR-?-£P - 2'^a *S\G PREFACE The International Commission of Jurists, at the suggestion of many lawyers in South Africa, sent a mission to Natal at the end of August 1990 to investigate the rampant violence which has torn the Province apart for upwards of four years. Over a period of two weeks, the mission concentrated its efforts on developing an in-depth understanding of the violence which continues to plague Natal. Stringent time constraints did not permit them to investigate the situation in the Transvaal where the violence has now spread. The mission held meetingjs with a variety of organisations and individuals representing aE sides involved with the violence, as well as with independent monitors and observers. The mission met Government ministers Pik Botha (Foreign Affairs) and Adrian Vlok (Law and order) and talked with the African National Congress (ANQ leaders in Natal as-well as with Walter Sisulu oftheANCNationalExecutive Committee. They saw Chief MinisterButhelexi, who is the President oflnkatha and ChiefMinister ofKwa Zulu as well as the Pea Mtetwa, the Kwa Zulu Minister of Justice.

  • Experiences of People Affected by Rabies in Ethekwini District in the Province of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
    Experiences of people affected by rabies in Ethekwini district in the province of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa Jeffrey Mduduzi Hadebe1, Maureen Nokuthula Sibiya2 1. Durban University of Technology - Steve Biko Campus, Nursing. 2. Durban University of Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences. Abstract Background: South Africa is one of the countries in Africa adversely affected by rabies, a notifiable disease which can be fatal. Fatalities can be prevented if health care is sought timeously and people are educated about the disease. The Province of Kwa- Zulu-Natal, in particular, has had rabies outbreaks in the past which have led to loss of many lives and devastation of entire families. Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of people affected by rabies in the eThekwini district of Kwa- Zulu-Natal, South Africa. Methods: The study was guided by a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive design. The sample was purposively selected, and a semi-structured interview was used to collect data from people affected by rabies in the eThekwini district. Data saturation was reached after 12 participants were interviewed. Data was analysed by using Tesch’s eight steps of thematic analysis. Results: The themes included family stability and support structures, exposure to risk factors and risky practices, factors that hindered participants from seeking health care assistance, limited knowledge about rabies and the effects of rabies. Conclusion: It was evident that participants experienced many challenges during their rabies exposure. Individuals, who were directly affected by rabies through contact with rabid animals, were expected to take responsibility for their own lives. Keywords: Rabies, South Africa, qualitative research.

    Understanding Childcare Choices amongst Low-Income Employed Mothers in Urban and Rural KwaZulu-Natal By Nonzuzo Mbokazi Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Town Department of Sociology Cape of Supervisors: Professor Elena Moore and Professor Jeremy Seekings UniversityUniversity of Cape Town 2019 i The copyright of this thesis vests Townin the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes Capeonly. of Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University Abstract This study explains how low-income employed mothers navigate care strategies for their young children (0-4 years). The study considers the constraints within which they make ‘choices’ about caring for their children using the market, kin and state. In addition, the study argues that these ‘choices’ are immensely constrained and that the low-income employed mothers have no real choice. For many women, the ‘feminisation of the workforce’ – the growing number of women in paid work – has entailed enormous stress and pressure, as they combine strenuous paid work with the demands of mothering. Low-income employed mothers must balance paid with unpaid work, in ways that are different to women who have more resources. This study analyses how women do this within households where gendered roles and a gender hierarchy continue to prevail. In some cases, low-income employed mothers must take on not only do the ‘work’ of managing the household but also the additional ‘work’ of soliciting the fathers for financial support and involvement in at least some aspects of their children’s lives.
