Consigned to oblivion
The South African Cape Coloured Corps officially came into existence during the First World War and was regarded as a colonial project. Despite the integral role played by these Coloured soldiers, their participation in both the World Wars and the subsequent military history of South Africa has become marginalized and even forgotten. As a result, these Coloured soldiers have not received the recognition or honour earned by war veterans. This pape…
Decolonised Mentoring and Black Women's Excellence
South Africa has had a turbulent history, having survived two colonial empires that left it in a state of repair. For Black women to succeed in post-apartheid South Africa, mentoring is indispensable. The form that this mentoring take is, however, imperative as it can initiate Black women's excellence that speak to the natural potential and ability that they possess to overcome the overlapping barriers placed on them by oppressive systems such as…
Does It Matter Where You Know Them from? Race-Ethnicity and the Impact of Social Domain on Intergroup Contact
Previous research generally suggests that increased racial-ethnic intergroup contact can reduce prejudice. Most studies, however, have examined the effects of contact within one social domain, that is, the specific context in which contact occurs. Thus, the question of how the social domain shapes the strength and direction of the contact–prejudice relationship remains underexplored. Utilizing data from a self-administered online survey (N = 637)…

COVID-19 has presented South Africans with an unprecedented period through which race, gender, violence, socio-economic circumstances and identity politics have been visiblized. This paper uses autoethnography to explore some of the experiences I have had because of my legal classification as a Coloured woman in post-Apartheid South Africa specifically during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. My selective narratives focus on how COVID-19 has am…
Culture as a Colonial Hub
Africa is often overwhelmed with narratives that seek to devalue its location and its contribution to knowledge because of the reproduction of colonial knowledges. Consequently, the geopolitics of South Africa has created an awareness of the way that power spaces have impacted the identity formation of subjugated persons. This paper uses autoethnography to explore the author’s legal racial classification as a ‘Colored’ [woman] in postApartheid So…
Coloured’ Consciousness
This article undertakes an existential journey by exploring the author's experience of being classified as a 'Coloured' woman in South Africa, as per its legislation pertaining to classification, and the reflections that have emerged from it. The author's lived experience during post-apartheid South Africa has demonstrated that there are damaging internalised knowledges pertaining to her identity as a 'Coloured' woman, some of which require activ…
Exploring the factors of the English Comprehension Test

The test development of the English Comprehension Test led to the piloting of two test versions of the English Comprehension Test, namely, version 1.2 and version 1.3. The purpose of this study was to statistically explore the factors emerging from the two test versions of the English Comprehension Test. T…
