Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethics approval for this study was obtained from the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of the Witwatersrand (M140803), the City of Johannesburg Research Committee and each facility. To address potential cultural and language sensitivities, the PI always offered participants the option of having a RA who spoke multiple local languages to support the interviews. Only the PI and RAs were involved in direct recruitment to avoid coercion from managers. Participation was voluntary. All participants provided prior written consent for the study and audio recordings. To preserve anonymity, codes were assigned to each participant based on the number of the visit. All recordings and transcripts are stored in password-protected files. Signed consent forms are stored in a locked cupboard at the University of the Witwatersrand.
