A Single Bangle Does Not Jingle
Humanity is beset by a number of intractable challenges, most of which can be attributed to the underlying ethos of capitalism. Characterised as “cultures of cruelty” that, together, have wrought untold suffering across the epochs, Ani’s (1993) notion of Yurugu is deployed to begin to account for the proclivity towards this destruction. In a bid to account for resilience against the unyielding odds integral to the notion of the “survival of the f…
Gesturing towards decolonial teaching praxis and unlearning colonial methods
In this article, we reflect on our experiences teaching and learning in a digital course for PhD students, Oxford-UNISA Decolonising Research Methodologies. The aim of the course was to ‘gesture’ beyond the coloniality of knowledge by thinking ‘otherwise’ about research methodologies. As a decolonial teaching praxis, gesturing embraces experimentation, humility and becoming as we pursue decolonial being/thinking and seek/create coexistence, well-…

Relationality or Hospitality in Twenty-First Century Research? Big Data, Internet of Things, and the Resilience of Coloniality on Africa
In a supposedly relational world, African people are increasingly datafied, dehumanised and denied self-knowledge, self-mastery, self-organization and data sovereignty. They are datafied, dehumanised and recolonised by foreign corporations and states engaged in the new scramble for African data. Arguing for more attention to data sovereignty, this article notes that the relational Internet of Things and Big Data threaten the autonomy, privacy, da…
When Ethics Fail
Research ethics are one of those issues in academia that, while receiving incessant critique, have settled at problematic notions. This article argues that the Nuremberg Code of Ethics that governs and guides research on human subjects is flawed on many levels. Deconstructing its history and its situatedness, the article argues that it cannot be ethical that a code conceived under specific circumstances becomes a universal one that informs notion…
Of witch doctors, traditional weapons and traditional medicine
On 16 August 2012, in an incident that shocked the world, 34 mineworkers were gunned down by police in the mining town of Marikana, South Africa. This article focuses on analyses by the print media and argues that the script adopted is that these men-about-town who spend a large part of their lives servicing global markets are painted as ‘traditionalists’ because they carried ‘traditional weapons’ and are said to have consulted traditional healer…
Can a Methodology Subvert the Logics of its Principal? Decolonial Meditations
This paper raises a question that is fundamental in the relationship between Euro-Western knowledge as a system of knowing, spawned and refined under particular historical circumstances, and the methodologies that are attached to it. I argue that Euro-Western knowledge gains its hegemonic status precisely because it is a political tool with political implications. As such, it is argued that the methodologies attached to it cannot be modified to s…
Teenage Sexuality, HIV Risk, and the Politics of Being “Duted”
HIV risk among teenagers is argued to be entangled with a plethora of other risks so that HIV-related risk may not be a paramount consideration. Teenage sexuality is a subject fraught with such consideration. This article is an ethnographic rendition of teenage sexuality in action in a South African township
From object to subject
South Africa has the highest burden of HIV/AIDS in the world. Theories that account for this are wide-ranging. This article argues that anthropological theories advanced to speak to the widespread nature and particular patterning of HIV vulnerability revert to problematic notions that betray age-old prejudices that once characterised the discipline. I argue that these theories do not, in fact, go to the root cause debates that are more contempora…
