Engaged and insurgent scholarship: A reflection
This article is a rejoinder to the special issue that celebrates and honours my life as a scholar-activist. Rather than directly responding to the articles, the rejoinder traces my intellectual and political development from growing up in Cala, a small village town where I was born in the Eastern Cape, to how I ended up being the engaged and insurgent scholar that all the contributors proclaim me to be. The key point is that my entry into the aca…
The ebb and flow of the fortunes of African studies at the University of Cape Town: An Overview
This article is an overview of African Studies at the University of Cape Town (UCT). Its main conclusion is that the University has so far failed to put the issue of African Studies high on its agenda. This is by no means a detailed account of the evolution of the concept of African Studies at UCT, but rather an overview that is meant to stimulate debate and discussion as UCT commemorates a centenary of African Studies. The article shows how UCT …
M afeje, A rchie (1936–2007)
Archibald Boyce Monwabisi Mafeje is one of Africa's greatest social scientists and a severe critic of colonial anthropology. He completed his PhD at Cambridge University in 1969 and went on to establish himself as an internationally respected scholar. A pioneer in decolonial scholarship, he was significantly influenced in his youth by one of the main political organizations in South Africa in the 1940s and 1950s, the Non‐European Unity Movement. …
Silent privatisation of customary land in Zambia: Opportunities for a Few, Challenges for Many
The conversion of customary land into leasehold tenure has sparked intense debates in Zambia and beyond. Growing interest in land in the last decade and half has led to a spike in demand for land across Africa, especially land adjacent to major cities, towns and developed infrastructure. This growing demand for land is gradually being directed at customary land, which well-resourced urban and local elites, as well as foreign investors, are conver…
What Can We Learn from Archie Mafeje about the Road to Democracy in South Africa
The Mafeje and the UCT saga: Unfinished Business
This article focuses on the thorny and vexed relationship between Archie Mafeje, a black South African scholar and the University of Cape Town. Mafeje was appointed on merit in 1968 as Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of Cape Town. His appointment was rescinded by the University Council acting under pressure from the apartheid state. With the imminent demise of apartheid, Mafeje re-applied in the early 1990s for a position…

Rural Resistance in South Africa: The Mpondo Revolts after Fifty Years
Much has been written about anti-apartheid resistance by the marginalized people of South Africa, as well as its violent repression by security forces in urban areas (e.g. Sharpeville massacre; Soweto riots). Very little attention has been paid to resistance by rural people. The Mpondo Revolts, which began in the 1950s and reached a climax in 1960, rank among the most significant rural resistances in South Africa. Here Mpondo villagers emphatical…
