Public Health Leadership and Inclusivity
Effective public health leadership is necessary to sustain vision, culture, and necessary health promotion amongst communities and societies. Leadership that is committed to social justice and epistemic freedom enhances the capacity for innovative direction, fostering the development of additional leaders. The COVID-19 experience revealed the need for open and transparent communication from effective leadership that empowers citizens to knowledge…
Decolonizing the Library Collections
As debates on decolonization proliferate, many institutions are realizing the need for change and transformation. No society would be fully decolonized if the institutions within it had not transformed. The work of intellectuals in a time of decolonization is to lead the processes of positively changing institutions. Arguably, the work of intellectuals in any institution of higher learning would be reflected in their library collections, for thes…
Transforming university through Africanised research
The 21st century has been an opportune time for building African universities by engendering innovative scholarship, teaching, and research. The complexity found in these universities, though, is reflected in the several ways in which intellectuals are dappling with knowledge production. This article focuses on why universities in Africa should employ what Wa Thiong’o refers to as ‘globalectics’ or interconnectedness as they enhance globally sign…

Black Women School Leaders
Opportunities have been opening for women since the promulgation of the post-apartheid South African Constitution, which advocates social justice and fairness, including gender and racial equity. However, critics have claimed that women in leadership positions are still a small percentage and hence transformative initiatives need to be implemented when it comes to gender equity. This case study focuses on black women school leaders in eight secon…

Indigenous Feminism and Black Women Leadership
For decades, feminism has been a concept associated with women's freedom from patriarchy, and this movement started in 1848 in Europe. Several political and social movements have fought on the side of women for gender equality over decades. In the 1960s, radical feminism grew because of the women's liberation movement, which continued well into the 1970s and 1980s. Over the years, feminism has given a voice to women wanting to unshackle themselve…
The Management of Democratic Elections in Africa (MDEA) programme at the university of South Africa
There have been a number of initiatives in Africa to rid the Continent of political instability, conflict, poverty and disease. Many have argued that aid from the West has helped Africa in many ways—from stopping wars, to food relief and rescuing the African environment. Yet others have slated Western involvement which they contend, frequently leaves Africans dependant rather than capable of solving their own problems. In line with the pan-Africa…
African Leadership Models in Education
The present paper explores leadership aspects imbued by African way of life. Unravelling what literature reflects, the paper also reveals how the Western models can glean from the African models and vice versa. Whilst the author focuses on school leadership, the applications can be utilised in various organisations. It shows how leadership needs to focus on people rather than processes only. Ubuntu as a form of African culture is examined as to h…
The Liberatory Function of a Museum
The new South African museums built in the last decade have attempted to demystify and challenge the pedestrian and sophistic roles that museums have played in the past. The “old” museums tended to mainly reflect a dominant culture that obscured other cultures and were underpinned by a deliberate agenda to marginalise other cultures. However, “new” museums such as District Six in Cape Town and Hector Peterson Museum in Soweto, Johannesburg are ex…
Memory, Educators and Pedagogy
In Nigeria, in spite of the undeniable and impressive changes in educational attainment, large proportions of females continue to marry in adolescence.For example, in the year 2005, about half of all the women aged 15-19 were married by age 18 in the country.Despite this situation, research studies in Nigeria tend to focus disproportionately on the unmarried and on premarital sexual activities.Indeed, married adolescents and young women have rece…
Memory, Educators and Pedagogy
The article focuses on the role of pedagogy and memory in a South African classroom. It was an investigation that was initiated by an educator who utilised his own autobiographical memory in educating his class. To fortify his memory, the teacher made use of the Attenborough’s film, Cry Freedom,a film that traces life and times of Stephen Biko, who is portrayed as a fearless fighter for the oppressed peoples’ political emancipation. The educator …
