Inspirational voices

“Decolonization is …‘the search for a liberating perspective within which to see ourselves clearly in relationship to ourselves and other selves in the universe.’ It is a humanistic struggle and endeavour with roots that reach back to the liberation struggles of yesteryear, the promises of which are yet to be fully realized on many fronts.”

– Professor Pascah Mungwini
Philosopher, University of South Africa
