“…In support of this view, Kuhn (1970), Shokane and Masoga (2020) and Mukesi and Wabomba (2021) noted that the Western countries are not keen to embrace medical inventions from Africa, opting to cast a suspicious look and at times outright rejection of all African inventions. According to Mukesi and Wabomba (2021), the majority of African health systems rely on funding from multilateral organisations such as WHO and other development agencies to supplement their budgets.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused chaos around the world, taking its toll on human lives and economic activities. By May 2021, COVID-19 had infected over one hundred and sixty million people globally and killed more than three million, with the highest reported in North America, South America, and Europe in the first year, and the worst surge of the second year occurring in India. However, one of the great mysteries of the COVID-19 has been its relatively smaller impact on the African region, which endures high burdens of other infectious diseases such as HIV and AIDS. While Africa south of the Sahara is home to sixteen percent of the world's population, its share of reported COVID-19 cases is three percent of the global case count, more than a year after the first COVID-19 cases were diagnosed in China (Praag and Arnson, 2021). This low prevalent rate can be explained by underlying differences in the effectiveness and timing of control measures such as low rates of testing, under-reporting, or the use of African indigenous knowledge remedies. This study, therefore, explores the effectiveness of the African Indigenous Knowledge System (AIKS) in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in Zimbabwe. The paper adopts qualitative research methods. Data were collected through interview discussions (IDs), newspaper articles, and posters.

“…The available literature attempts to answer the question of what psychosocial challenges learners in schools face (du Plessis and Mestry, 2019; Jones, 2011; Masilo, 2018; Mouton et al, 2013; Shokane et al, 2020), highlighting the role of social workers within the school setting. Factors contributing to learners’ difficulties include financial pressures, poor behaviour, substance abuse, and overcrowded classrooms, which result in trauma and learning difficulties (Jones, 2011; Mngadi and Tandwa, 2017; Mouton et al, 2013; Ntuli et al, 2020; UNICEF, 2021; Vergottini and Weyers, 2020; World Bank, 2020).…”
