Daniel analyses the dynamics which lead the ANC to victory in the highly contested province of KZN. He argues that the disaffection of voters from the IFP, DA and NNP; and the newlygained support of the Indian electorate, played a significant role. Other dynamics such as the aggressive and strategic campaign of the ANC, as compared to the ossified IFP, contributed to the ANC?s decisive win.

In studies conducted with African and Asian cohorts researchers have shown the clinical efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in resource-limited settings. However, studies on the longer term changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with patients receiving ART in these settings are still scarce. The aim in this study was to assess HIV patients' HRQoL, clinical, psychosocial, and soc...

|
Previous quantitative studies suggest a mutually reinforcing relationship between HIV counselling and testing (HCT) and antiretroviral treatment (ART). HCT is the entry into ART, and access to ART appears to increase HIV-testing uptake in settings with historically low uptake. Adopting a qualitative approach, this study examined the influence of ART on willingness to test for HIV, in a rural co...

In this paper we analyse household income mobility dynamics among Africans in South Africa's most populous province, Kwazulu-Natal, between 1993 and 1998. Compared to industrialized and most developing countries, mobility has been quite high, as might have been expected after the transition in South Africa. This finding is robust when measurement error is controlled for. When disaggregating the...
