Abstract: This paper examines PT Mtuze’s illustration of heavy drinking of liquor by ministers of religion in the novel Indlel’ Ecand’ Intlango (1985). It discusses this aspect with regard to Ntobeko Ndleleni, whom the narrative presents as the cleric of the Anglican Church in Ndevana, which is a rural settlement in the King William’s Town District in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Ntobeko, who is the main character in the narrative, is depicted indulging heavily in liquor drinking, a behavior that is generally considered a moral weakness according to the standards of the Christian religion, in which he is a leader. The different sections of this presentation are; introduction, analysis and conclusion. Part of the introductory section of this article will include a definition of the concept of moral weakness.

Abstract: This study was driven by the need to identify with the high school English teachers’ perceptions related to bi/multiculturalism in a classroom. This qualitative study involved 20 teachers divided into four interview focus groups. These teachers teach English and were purposively selected to articulate their observations and unease about mother tongue education in one education district of South Africa. Findings point to the main worry of teachers who feel that their universities did not train them adequately to handle this current issue of mother tongue education in the classroom. They also cited political, economic, social and technical challenges in trying to promote multilingualism in the classrooms. Additionally, the learners seemed to still favour English as the main medium of instruction.

Abstract: CD4 cells are important component of the body�s defense mechanism, therefore CD4 cells count is an important indicator of immune function. Human immunodeficiency virus infection attacks the CD4 cells in the blood, causing their number to drop. When that happens, the person�s body cannot fight infections effectively. The individual then becomes vulnerable to attack by opportunistic infections. These infections occur more frequently and more severely in persons living with HIV (PLWH) than in the general population.\r\nHighly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), when adhered to by PLWH, is capable of suppressing HIV viral replication, thereby reducing the viral population to �lower than detectable level� which eventually results in immunologic recovery and restoration of normal immune function as the number of CD4 cells increase to normal range.\r\nHowever, not all PLWH achieve immunologic recovery. There are factors that affect immunologic recovery. This study, with a sample size of 1203 PLWH, was aimed at determining patient factors which could affect immunologic recovery in PLWH on antiretroviral therapy in public health care facilities in KwaZulu-Natal. Data was collected using questionnaire and hospital patient charts. 64% of the participants were female, 45.5% of had immunologic failure (CD4 cell count <200 cells/�L). CD4 cells count outcome was statistically significantly associated with gender, poor adherence to ART and baseline CD4 cells count. The probability of immunologic failure for those who did not strictly adhere to ART was more than 3 folds higher than those who adhered to ART; and the probability of immunologic failure was more than 8 folds higher for those who had baseline CD4 cells <200 cells/�L than those who had baseline CD4 cells ?200 cells/�L. These therefore affirm the absolute necessity of strict adherence to ART by PLWH as well as highlights the necessity of the WHO HIV treatment policy of �test and treat�.\r\nKey words: Patient, Immunologic, CD4, HIV, Factors, Failure, recovery
