dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research study investigated the perceptions of HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination of employees in the Office of the Premier in the Northern Cape. The study made used of a mixed-method approach. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used. The quantitative approach entailed a survey and the qualitative approach, focus groups. The findings indicate that stigma and discrimination is prevalent in the workplace. It showed that employees concur that stigma exists and that it results in discriminatory practices. As a result, attention is drawn away from the important issue of HIV/AIDS and emphasis is placed on the negative behavioural aspects that exist within the workplace.en_ZA
