Afrocentric social work perspectives on traditional community courts in South Africa and Zimbabwe
For many African communities, colonisation imposed alien, Eurocentric justice systems, today widely accepted as the conventional courts of law. These institutions substituted the physical and epistemic existence of indigenous justice institutions that flourished long before the ‘discovery’ and subsequent institutionalised oppression of Africa.
