This paper addresses a global and national audience in critically reflecting on the discourses of gender, media and politics as they intersect in the construction of the Caster Semenya saga (2009–2010) through political cartoons. Reporting on female athletes in local South African newspapers mostly follows broad global trends of relative under-representation, marginalization and gender stereotyping with an exception of the Caster Semenya saga. This paper draws on the analysis of political cartoons portraying the controversies surrounding Caster Semenya during her 11-month ban and re-entry into competitive participation by July 2010. During that period, a total of 18 editorials were identified on SA Media that displayed cartoons referring to the saga under analysis. The choice of data provides visual imagery pertinent of gender ideology as it fluctuates according to dominant political discourses. These were analysed to explore layers of meanings that contributed to the hermeneutics of suspicion and constructed meanings related to prominent political, socio-cultural and gender discourses of relevance within the South African context. Descriptors (words) and images articulate to communicate powerful messages about anti-colonial sentiments, international unequal power relations that transcend sport but also impact on a nationalist agenda, the contention of fair competition and human justice within elite sport.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"57 1","pages":"62 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79451361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Healthcare systems need to acknowledge and support alternative medical therapy and also cater for the social aspect of the patient, which includes family support. This article attempts to make a case for the patient's social context to be incorporated in diabetes healthcare by proposing a new model for diabetes healthcare as a contribution to current literature. A qualitative case study design was used to explore individual patient perspectives on diabetic healthcare and treatment options within a South African public healthcare setting. Data were collected through interviews with diabetic patients, personal observation and document analysis. Findings indicate that problematic aspects related to issues of negligence and non-adherence need to be resolved by the healthcare professional, as recognizing patients’ social contexts and their lifestyle management can positively impact on such issues.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"67 1","pages":"26 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74669683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

South Africa has one of the largest numbers of people living with HIV in the world. Despite accelerated efforts to combat the HIV and AIDS epidemic there remains an unabated challenge, i.e. continuing new infections, particularly among young African adults. Studies suggest that risky sexual behaviours, including multiple sexual partnerships, are responsible for the spread of HIV. This study sought, among other objectives, to identify underlying socio-economic factors fuelling multiple sexual relationships occurring in the context of casual sexual partnerships known as “ukujola”. A generic qualitative study approach was used, drawing on in-depth interviews (n = 20), focus groups (n = 4) and key-informant interviews (n = 8) conducted with IsiZulu-speaking participants (aged 21–34) from KwaZulu-Natal. The study found that there are various socio-economic factors, including poverty and high levels of unemployment, sexual desire and the need for social approval, which promote multiple sexual relationships. In order to curb the further spread of HIV and AIDS, prevention efforts must target the reduction of partner concurrency.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"176 1","pages":"43 - 61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79860964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
