The authors re ﬂ ect on the use of rapid response non-probabilistic surveys using a mass membership online data-free platform. Overall, the article provides insights into best practices in online survey research within the context of South Africa, where the digital divide is exceedingly present. The main argument is that online surveys make it feasible to reach the broader public, especially when dealing with time-sensitive issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the authors re ﬂ ect on the bene ﬁ ts and limitations of using this type of data collection method. Drawing on the data that were collected through the COVID-19 Democracy Survey, the article looks into the public ’ s responses to the pandemic. In par-ticular, the public ’ s views on various government pandemic policy decisions, their views on school closures and the reopening of schools during 2020, as well as the extent to which individuals are experiencing pandemic fatigue are all reported on and analysed in this fascinating article. These contributions in this special edition seek to explore the various ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the lives of ordinary South Africans. At the same time, it also provides sociological insights into how we can make sense of the impact that the pandemic has on the ground and how we can respond to it as social researchers.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"39 1","pages":"1 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74614366","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}

This study explored and described the biopsychosocial circumstances of homeless older persons in the City of Tshwane from a resilience lens. A qualitative research approach, operationalised through a collective case study, was implemented with 34 older persons across different research sites in the metropolitan area. Data were collected through semistructured interviews. Transcriptions of interviews were analysed through a process of thematic analysis. Apart from a brief profile, six themes are reported: (1) the choice of areas where homeless older persons reside, (2) the causes of homelessness, (3) the adversities they face, (4) coping strategies employed by homeless older persons, (5) the services and professionals homeless older persons utilised, and (6) the voices of participants concerning their recommendations for the City of Tshwane. Considered from a resilience lens, recommendations for an integrated social services delivery framework are offered for mitigating the harsh circumstances of homelessness among older persons.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"17 1","pages":"7 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81385166","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}

The purpose of this article is to explore and modify factors that influence healthcare in homeless persons, as well as to establish a homeless health profile. It also sets out to explore the help-seeking behaviour observed in this population. Common health encounters included substance use disorder, mental illness, infectious diseases, skin and soft tissue conditions and poor oral hygiene. Services were tailored to provide comprehensive on-site clinical care, making use of allied services. Barriers to healthcare were eradicated through provision of transport, delivery and on-site dispensing of medication and a patient-centred approach. The eradication of certain barriers proved that quality primary healthcare can be achieved in any setting, especially if a patient-centred approach is utilised. The provision of multiple services in a single setting would be ideal. Overall well-being improves when basic needs are met, resulting in positive health outcomes. The homeless patient specifically benefits from a multidisciplinary approach by providers who are particularly sensitive to their dynamics.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"35 1","pages":"28 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75249988","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}

This article examines how the UJ/HSRC COVID-19 Democracy survey responded to these challenges by conducting a series of rapid-response non-probabilistic surveys using a mass membership online data-free platform, known as the Moya messenger app. While not without its limitations, we argue that the narrowing “digital divide” in South Africa means that online survey research is of increasing utility to researchers under the conditions of the pandemic and beyond. By offering insight into the technicalities of designing, translating and fielding the survey we aim to share insights into best practice that can further develop online survey research in South Africa. In particular, we reflect upon why the river sampling offered by the Moya messenger app was favoured over online panel data. This leads into a discussion of the process of weighting the data to replicate the national population, and the potential biases among participants versus non-participants in the surveys. The article then moves on to illustrate how the findings were used to provide evidence to policymakers and “voice” to adults living in South Africa about their experiences of the pandemic and their views on policy responses. The article considers how the research contributed to the public discourse around the pandemic response in 2020, including the public’s views on various pandemic policy decisions, school closures and pandemic fatigue.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"40 1","pages":"188 - 208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74431419","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}

What has been less visible so far is the picture that is beginning to emerge from the rural areas and more marginal provinces. In this paper, we argue that when those experiences are carefully analysed, we begin to see that the former homelands were treated as a kind of “third country,” a country where custom and tradition posed particular threats and required specialised control and management. Using Giorgio Agamben’s notion of a state of exception to frame the discussion, the aim of this paper is to lift the veil from the state’s “war on COVID” in these rural areas during the first wave of infection (April to July 2020) and explore the frightening implications of suspended customary rights to cultural dignity, circular migration and social reproduction in these areas. The empirical focus of the paper is on changing funeral practices and burial rites, and how these were impacted by the COVID lockdown restrictions in the rural Eastern Cape Province, with special reference to rural municipalities in the former Transkei.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"69 1","pages":"143 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74622379","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}
