In September last year, we had a conversation Nombulelo Shange from the University of the Free State and she had written an opinion piece about how African Knowledge Systems should be built into the way knowledge is produced, the way healthcare systems are run, how new technologies are built.

She’s back again and she says, although a lot more needs to be done, we are seeing a rise in African intellectuals, practices and solutions. In the academy, she’s seeing this in the calls for decolonised education, which has emphasised the importance of Southern African scholarly contributions locally and internationally. She also make reference to our day-to-day lives, where we see the shift towards reclaiming African solutions to deal with modern-day challenges
