This paper discusses the issues concerning HIV and AIDS within the context of capitalist development in Southern Africa. Southern Africa is the epicenter of the HIV and AIDS pandemic and coupled with growing poverty in Africa in general, there is need to understand the trajectory of Southern Africa in the present phase of global capitalist development. The paper is contextualised in post-adjustment Southern Africa in which all the countries have adopted and implemented economic structural adjustment programs of various sorts, all of which share common features such as liberalization of capital, labour and commodities and services. The paper raises issues about research, directions for future intervention so that there are better understandings of processes for containing, reducing and mitigating the effects of HIV and AIDS in Southern Africa.

A research paper on affirmative action on gender issues at the University of Zimbabwe. ; The everyday lives of students and staff in acadeipic institutions are shaped by the ideologies of masculinity and femininity that prevail within their societies, families and their specific educational institutions! As indicated by Kessler (1985) organisations have differing gender regimes that model the types of masculinity and femininity manufactured, reinforced and exhibited within them by students and staff. These behaviours vary depending on the social class, age, ethnicity and race of the males. The material for this chapter is based on teaching experiences and the research findings, submissions and contributions made by students to the Gender Studies Association/Affirmative Action Project, funded by the Ford Foundation at the University of Zimbabwe. This project was funded in order to produce data on gender inequalities amongst staff and students, to monitor and report on the progress of the affirmative acfton polity of the university and to lay down the basis for fostering gender equity, democracy and the respect of the rights of all the stakeholders in the university.
