This publication discusses some of the crucial issues affecting nations and societies in the Southern African region. These are political conflicts, poverty, diseases such as HIV/AIDS and social practices. Despite claims by countries in the area that they have fully embraced values of political democracy, there is evidence indicating that high levels of political intolerance among political parties and groupings still persist, resulting in ethnic conflicts which retard economic progress and thus reinforce poverty. The authors argue that social practices like polygamy have an impact on perceptions and values about gender equality and the empowerment of women and in some cases even contribute to the spread of diseases like HIV/AIDS.
