The Faces and Phases of Inkosi Albert Luthuli

Puleng Segalo — 2024-06-14

Inkosi Albert Luthuli had a long and distinguished career as a leader in the South African freedom struggle and occupies an important place in the country’s history as an advocate of Christian (liberation) theology. There is a growing field of knowledge creation exploring the relevance of his
leadership in people’s understanding of historical development in South Africa. Luthuli espoused the values and principles of Batho Pele through his moral and ethical leadership, serving as a transformative leader embedded in the philosophy of ubuntu.

Luthuli’s life, intellectual and religious philosophies and orientations need to be applied as a lens to comment on historical and contemporary socioeconomic and political issues in South Africa. It is crucial to approach Luthuli’s life in a holistic manner so that people can consider his multiple
identities and learn lessons relevant to their positions within society (as community leaders, religious leaders, political actors, scholars, social justice activists and above all as citizens). This will help them to understand the many layers of injustice and inequality plaguing South African society today.
Such an undertaking would require an effort to de-normalise multiple layers of power structures in cultivating knowledge, including racial, gender and epistemic barriers.

This book combines a set of 12 chapters by various contributors that offer insights into diverse aspects of Luthuli’s life, and his relevance for contemporary South Africa(ns).

Evans Netshivambe — 2023-12-12

The author investigates four distinct indigenous African musical instruments played within the Venda culture. He considers how many African communities have similar practices of certain instruments, which are played in other African cultures with different approaches. The book highlights similar musical practices shared across many African countries, despite the diverse cultural settings.

Violence in schools

Vusi Mncube — 2023-12-11

Internationally, violence occurs in schools on a regular basis; and in some contexts is particularly serious and widespread. One such context is South Africa, where, on an almost daily basis, newspapers carry reports of one or other aspect of school violence.

While a number of academic studies have delineated the extent and nature of such violence, and made recommendations on possible solutions to the problem, there has - until now - been no single book bringing together theory and research on the causes of violence, and on its reduction and prevention.

Finding suitable solutions requires a clear understanding of how and where violence is generated. Uniquely, Violence in schools: South Africa in an international context covers both the social bases of school violence and the role many schools themselves play in generating violent behaviour. It goes on to argue that school-generated violence is potentially much more amenable to positive intervention: solutions can be developed at the local level, by schools themselves, and in response to the specific circumstances generated in individual schools.

This study also asks why males specifically play such a large part in violence in South African society. Examining the theories and empirical evidence regarding the nature and causes of violence in schools globally, it explores them as they relate to South African schools specifically.

Overtly based on the value of democratic values in seeking solutions, the book provides very useful resources for a whole range of educational endeavours. It will be of considerable interest to government educational departments, NGOs, teacher-education institutions, and staff and governing bodies in schools.
