A survey to determine the opinions and perceptions of Complementary Medicine by users in health shops in the East Rand of Gauteng

Abstract: Objectives: Complementary Medicine is a general term used when describing interventions applied in conjunction with or as an alternative to conventional medicine. Complementary medicine can be used when addressing and treating a plethora of chronic and acute physiological and mental conditions. With its ever increasing wide-spread global popularity, more funding and expenditure has been spent on both complementary medicine practitioners and products alike. The aim of this study was to determine the opinions and perceptions about complementary medicine by users in selected health shops in the East Rand of Gauteng. Methodology: This study was conducted by means of a survey; 300 questionnaires were available for completion at 9 different health stores in the East Rand of Gauteng, a total of 256 surveys were completed and analysed. Results: Based on the results of this study, a typical profile of a complementary medicine user in the East Rand of Gauteng has been generated and can be described. This profile is consistent with other profiles generated from similar studies done in South Africa, as well as many international studies. Many consumers in this region are also of the opinion that complementary medicine should be included into the National Health System

Voorstellings van verset in drie Adam Small-dramas: Kanna hy kô hystoe, Joanie Galant-hulle en Krismis van Map Jacobs

This article investigates the extent to which the title characters in three Adam Small plays represent dramatic and theatrical expressions of revolt. The title characters are Kanna (in Kanna hy kô hystoe), Joanie (in Joanie Galant-hulle) and Map (in Krismis van Map Jacobs). The discussion concludes that two forms of revolt dominate in these plays, namely expressions of overt and covert revolt. In his first play, Kanna acts the part of the reluctant intellectual, while politically inspired events compel Joanie Galant to face a personal and material void, without success. In the third play, Map Jacobs succeeds in resisting the legacy of his criminal past and his stay in prison by reclaiming his identity as a member of society. Apart from the title characters, the playwright also emerges as an invisible character in each play. He voices his revolt against political and social injustices by his representations in the written text, and in the fashion he determines how revolt should be portrayed on-stage. Among others, he uses procedures recognised as vehicles of revolt, such as elements from Brechtian theatre, satire, the silent character, laughter, culturally marked language that dismantles the authority of standard language, and body markings.&nbsp
