| dc.description.abstract | This review describes research literature involved with efforts at collaboration between traditional African healers (TAHs) and biomedical practitioners in HIVIAIDS interventions in Southern Africa. The paper draws on academic texts including published and unpublished research papers, books and reports, and press comments on the subject. The focus is on Southern African literature, but selected texts from elsewhere on the continent are also included. Rather than simply reviewing selected interventions, this pap er interrogates the roles assigned to traditional healers, emphasising in particular diviner-practitioners such as izangoma (sing. isangoma: Zulu; igqirha, amagqirha: Xhosa) in these interventions. The paper investigates the experience of traditional healers of these interventions, and the responses of biomedical professionals, and explores some obstacles which may hinder future collaborations. The paper concludes with some recommendations and proposals fo rfuture schemes and related research. | en_ZA |
