- Description
- The purpose of the study was to explore the gender roles in traditional healing practice at selected areas of Buffalo City Municipality. A qualitative method was used to explore and identify gender roles in traditional healing practice. Purposive sampling was used to select thirty traditional healers, both males and females. In depth interviews and focus group discussions were also used to collect data and an interview guide was used to conduct interviews with participants. Thematic analysis and open coding were used in identifying themes. The results were: there are different roles ascribed for both male and female traditional healers. Those roles may lead to stereotypes and the stereotypes may have negative effects to the traditional healers.
