African Indigenous Languages in Higher Education
The paper uses secondary sources to interrogate the role of African indigenous languages in higher education transformation. Multilingualism in African higher education is seen as critical in promoting African scholarship and Africa-led globalization. Kiswahili and isiZulu are used as case studies. African universities such as the University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) and University of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) have incorporated the promotion…
Gender and African Proverbs
This paper emanates from an ongoing study. The preliminary literature review shows that some proverbs have gender connotations. The examples provided from various ethnic groups demonstrate that proverbs are used to articulate the deeply entrenched patriarchal systems of African social and cultural organization. They show the subordination of women in society. As it is not possible to eradicate the existing gendered proverbs in various societies, …
Energy Resources and Environmental Conflicts in Africa
Using a survey of secondary sources on energy rich countries in Africa as case studies, the study demonstrates that environmental challenges associated with energy resources create key challenges in the 21st century Africa. The arguments extended are that: despite Africa’s rich endowment with wealth in energy resources including oil and gas, which could have created sustainable development and peace, the respective countries are characterised by …

Howeve…
Environmental Security, Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Implications for Food Security in South Africa

It recommends that in order to promote environmental security for sustainable food…
Indigenous Knowledge and Biodiversity for Sustainable Food Security in South Africa

African Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Human Rights
Africa has rich traditions and knowledge systems founded on the principles of caring for one another and the spirit of mutual support embedded in the African philosophy of Ubuntu. These collective values tend to be marginalised in international human rights standards built on western values. The standards were developed without broad-based consultation of the different value systems in Africa. Therefore, in order to inspire sustainable implementa…
African indigenous ecology control and sustainable community livelihood in southern African history
Based on sources for African Indigenous Ecology Control and Sustainable Community Livelihood in Southern African history this article argues that political independence in the Southern African region has altered the historiography of the region and the African continent as a whole. Black Africans are now looking to the past for inspiration to constitute the foundations of sustainable livelihoods using their own indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) …
Indigenous Knowledge of Wild-food Resources among Children in Tanzania
This is a case study of children’s knowledge of wild-food resources in three rural communities in Tanzania. The study argues that research on African Indigenous Knowledge Systems (AIKS) on wild food resources marginalizes the theoretical and practical knowledge that children have on these resources. It was found that children, both boys and girls, had a wide knowledge of the wild food resources. This was acquired through social practice. They saw…
Knowledge and Perceptions of Rural Communities on Wild Food Resources Consumption in Tanzania
The study used three villages in Western Usambara, Tanzania, as case studies to investigate the knowledge and perceptions of rural communities on consumption of wild-food resources. It was found that, in spite of the increasing loss of African indigenous knowledge among farming communities, there was still a strong connection between cultural identity and cuisine. Local wild-food resources contributed the taste, texture, and odour of traditional …
