Abstract
Soon after taking the position of editor of IJARS at the beginning of 2019, I was
contacted by the dean of Unisa’s College of Graduate Studies (CGS), Prof. Lindiwe
Zungu, who informed me that the university’s principal and vice-chancellor, Prof.
Mandla Makhanya, had decided to revive his project, the African Intellectuals’ Project
(AIP). I was asked to coordinate this project, through which Makhanya sought to invite
scholars, academics, and intellectuals, both on and outside of the African continent,
to deliver presentations reflecting on the ills afflicting Africa and, at the same time, to
offer possible solutions. In pursuing the AIP, Prof. Makhanya was carrying on a
perennial tradition.
