Download or read book From the Baobab to the Mosquito written by Letlhokwa George Mpedi and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African leadership is in crisis. The legacy of colonialism has prevailed, while novel challenges such as the pandemic, substantial developmental setbacks, the scourge of corruption and troughs in growth have challenged the 'Africa Rising' narrative that once dominated. In a deeply fragmented and uncertain world, one might ask: 'What is the source of inspiration for leadership?' As leaders are faced with the seemingly insurmountable task of rebuilding Africa's economies, structures and systems, there is an argument to be made that leadership approaches should be uniquely and distinctly African. Letlhokwa George Mpedi draws inspiration from African culture and African approaches to challenge the prevailing systems. By exploring select proverbs and sayings, Letlhokwa identifies the tenets of successful and effective leadership. Traversing the ages, sourcing from indigenous practices, drawing from different regions and exploring diverse cultural references from the continent, he finds common threads to rethink the practice of leadership. From the Baobab to the Mosquito emphasises the value of collaboration and collective decision-making, reflecting the communal values that are at the heart of many African cultures. It offers a powerful reminder that leadership is not just about individual achievement, but about building strong relationships, fostering a sense of community, and making a positive difference in the lives of others. Through this collection of African concepts in a contemporary context, Letlhokwa George Mpedi sounds the call for authentic African leaders. Letlhokwa George Mpedi is the Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Johannesburg and a Professor of Labour and Social Security Law at the same institution. Before his current position as Vice-Chancellor he served as Head of the Department of Practical Business Law, Vice-Dean, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Law, and Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Academic.

Download or read book African Proverbs as Epistemologies of Decolonization written by George Jerry Sefa Dei and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Proverbs as Epistemologies of Decolonization calls for a rethinking of education by engaging African proverbs as valuable and salient epistemologies for contemporary times. The book addresses the pedagogic, instructional, and communicative relevance of African proverbs for decolonizing schooling and education in pluralistic contexts by questioning the instructional, pedagogic, and communications lessons of these proverbs and how they can be employed in the education of contemporary youth. It presents a critical discursive analysis of proverbs from selected African contexts, highlighting the underlying knowledge base that informs these cultural expressions. Explore alongside the book the ways in which these Indigenous teachings can be engaged by schools and educators to further the objective of decolonizing education by providing a framework for character education. This character-based framework equips the learner to be knowledgeable about power, equity, ethics and morality, and to develop a conscience for social responsibility, as well as to embrace traditional notions of self-discipline, probity, and hard work. This text goes beyond the mere documentation of proverbs to tease out how embedded knowledge and cultural referents in these knowledge bases and systems are critical for transforming education for young learners today.

Download or read book Tasty New Sauces from Tired Old Pots written by Larry M. Sellers and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study grows out of a desire to see Christian leadership that is culturally appropriate and effective developed in and by the African church through African methods of values transmission—particularly the method of African traditional proverbs. The research reveals that various factors impact how proverbs are used to transmit values within the context of the church and wider society. My central research issue is to identify those factors that impact the effective and appropriate use of African proverbs in ministry by African church leaders in Côte d’Ivoire. Part 1 examines literature regarding African traditional proverbs and their significance in African society. Following a survey of literature on leadership within an African context, I examine the literature on the use of African proverbs in church contexts. The findings suggest that while considerable literature is available from Africa’s anglophone contexts, relatively little is available from the francophone contexts and particularly from Côte d’Ivoire. This attests to the need for such research. Part 2 presents the research accomplished using three methods: direct observation, a survey of pastors, and focus groups of pastors, preachers, and laypeople within the Church of God in Côte d’Ivoire. I divide findings into two categories: those relating to proverb use in general society and those concerning proverb use in church contexts. From the data analysis, I have drawn five prevailing themes indicating factors that impact proverb use. Part 3 presents my proposal for integrating proverb use in more effective ways within the Church of God in Côte d’Ivoire, beginning with IBAO, the Bible training institute of the church. The model of change dynamic proposed and applied to IBAO students and teachers is Peter Senge’s Five Disciplines of Learning Organizations. The study concludes with missiological implications and recommendations for both Western missionaries and Africans. These include further steps within the current context as well as proposed areas of further study in related contexts. I close by acknowledging the great extent to which African proverbs merit further study, as they offer a deep well of insight into African worldviews and cultures that is often neglected by Western scholarship.

Download or read book Matrix of African Proverbs written by Muata Ashby and published by . This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A matrix is a foundation upon which something is created. It is also a framework or structure that a construction can be based upon. The matrix is a guide. The question is what are the ideas and principles that African culture and society has been based on from time immemorial? In terms of African society and civilization the matrix is proverbial wisdom teachings. African proverbial wisdom teachings are aphorisms that may be found from ancient to modern times that contain a uniquely African perspective on life, social organization and spiritual existence that has been refined and encapsulated over generations. African proverbial wisdom teachings contain the guiding principles that were used by ancient African societies and which can still be found in use throughout Africa for the transference of wisdom containing a code for the architecture of a well ordered society and also for personal material and spiritual fulfillment. This volume is dedicated to outlining those principles embedded in African Proverbial Wisdom teachings for those who want to recapture the innate African acumen for creating political and economic well-being and spiritual connection to the universe.
Download or read book Being and Becoming African as a Permanent Work in Progress written by B. Nyamnjoh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a timely addition to debates and explorations on the epistemological relevance of African proverbs, especially with growing calls for the decolonisation of African curricula. The editors and contributors have chosen to reflect on the diverse ways of being and becoming African as a permanent work in progress by drawing inspiration from Chinua Achebe's harnessing of the effectualness of oratory, especially his use of proverbs in his works. The book recognises and celebrates the fact that Achebe's proverbial Igbo imaginations of being and becoming African are compelling because they are instructive about the lives, stories, struggles and aspirations of the rainbow of people that make up Africa as a veritable global arena of productive circulations, entanglements and compositeness of being. The contributions foray into how claims to and practices of being and becoming African are steeped in histories of mobilities and a myriad of encounters shaped by and inspiring of the competing and complementary logics of personhood and power that Africans have sought and seek to capture in their repertoires of proverbs. The task of documenting African proverbs and rendering them accessible in the form of a common hard currency with fascinating epistemological possibilities remains a challenge yearning for financial, scholarly, social and political attention. The book is an important contribution to John Mbiti's clarion call for an active and sustained interest in African proverbs.
