Abstract
This paper offers an overview of the rise of and response to HIV/AIDS (AIDS) in South Africa (SA), before surveying the role of civil society in the provision of fundamental assistance within affected SA communities. Part two focuses on the relationship between civil-society organisations (CSO) and the state and the influence of the former on the latter’s response to the Aids epidemic. In part, three the paper moves on to consider the role of religion generally within SA and the rise of faith-based organisation (FBO) along with the difficulties FBO’s present to state intervention and control. This follows into part four, which focuses on Islamic FBOs and the Muslim approaches to governance of Islamic philanthropy, contrasting religious rules with the legal framework assessing whether the model facilitates or restricts the operation of Islamic FBOs.
