ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research is an investigation of how leaders in Kraaifontein area address HIV and AIDS and how this influences the levels of stigma and discrimination amongst the community members. A research was carried out in the Kraaifontein area using a mixed approach. Fifteen leaders were identified using purposive sampling method whilst their followers were randomly selected. A thematic analysis was done to determine the levels of stigma amongst leaders. Questionnaires were distributed to the community members to be able to measure the level of stigma and discrimination. Data which was collected from interviews was summarised in a report. Each leader was assigned to a code from A to O. The community members’ questionnaires were also labelled A to O corresponding to their Leaders. This was done to enable a comparison of reports between leaders and their subordinates or followers. The research established that though there are low levels of enacted stigma in Kraaifontein according to the results, there were shockingly high percentages (57%) of people who believed that HIV and AIDS is a punishment for bad behaviour. Seventy-one percent believed that it’s a punishment from God whilst 86% would not buy from someone with AIDS. The research showed that although people have the knowledge on how HIV virus is spread, there still remains an element of sigma and discrimination. Further recommendations were also made for future studies.
