dc.description.abstractThis project was concerned at looking at philanthropy with regards to poverty alleviation and development. This was achieved by looking at the literature around philanthropy and fieldwork. The literature helped in providing an understanding of philanthropy and the politics around it. Most of the literature that was used was internationally based and this did not look at South Africa. This was a problem because the South African situation is different to what is happening internationally. But the literature with the South African context in mind helped in providing a context specific understanding. I used post-development theory to understand philanthropy within development. The reason for choosing post?development was because it best explained how philanthropists go about doing development. The project used the case study methodological approach in order to get a deep insight into the how philanthropists operate in South Africa. This approach helped to understand who the philanthropists were. This was important in trying to establish how philanthropy works within the South African context.en_ZA
