There is nothing more correct for African people than centeredness in their own historical narratives of politics, history, culture, and science. Dr. Lushuba is right on target. Down with all forms of mental and psychological oppression in the curriculum

Asking someone not to bring politics into the political studies classroom is quite frankly Kafkaesque. Beyond that, as emerges from Dr Lushaba's eloquently worded letter, this incident is part of a larger problem at UCT that needs to be addressed immediately. We are living in Africa, not in Europe. UCT is an African University.

I am Black. I have experienced being bullied in the workplace, I know how it feels to be reminded of 'your place of ' nonbeingness as a Black woman, to be reminded that your qualifications and experience mean nothing for you belong at bottom of the well like your fellow Black no beings in your own country. I am angry that we have been made to endure such nonsense for this long.

In support of transformation in all walks of our lives including academia. Down with received colonial epistemological wisdoms!

To me this is about decolonisation of education , and putting an end to the notion that blacks regardless of qualifications are not equal to the task.

These are the methods of teaching I too subscribe to as an Adult Educator. Their are elements in the Academic Institutions who thinks they are gods - sitting in their Ivory Towers - far away from the Reality they are trying to escape - WE must challenge these fossils

White supremacy tendencies at the institutions of learning in South Africa are on the rise. People who are indigenous to this land are increasingly being brutalised with impunity in the country of their birth. African people need to be very united and very committed in resisting and fighting the scourge of racism and all its perpetrators in whatever forms they manifest themselves in. This is why I support the Dr Lwazi Lushaba petition. I also encourage all progressive thinking people to support it, too.

Unfortunately white supremacy thinks this does not apply to indigenous African people

I beleive in a wholistical approach to teaching.Which according to the report given Dr. Lwazu Lushaba seems to have conducted.

Why did you sign this petition? I think it is about time for black lecturers to be given a chance to explore and acknowledge the times they are living in. They are part and parcel of the fibre of our society.

 Yes we all support equality and fairness but unfortunately the good Profs bitterness manifests itself as rabid racism all too often. He needs to take one huge chill pill, lose the chip on at least one of his shoulders and stop acting so aggresive, petulant and unreasoning . It would also be great if he could be just a tad less verbose. As a general guide he could reduce his word count to about 20% and still get his point across whilst ensuring about 10 times as many reads

Dr. Lushaba raises pertinent issues of transformation in our higher education system and he points to practices that are stifling the development of the black intelligentsia and access to universities for poor and working class people who are black South Africans.

Dr lwazi Lushaba is the only black intellectual of our time who has dedicated his educational fruits to give back to our black people, the food of thought that liberates the mind of the black child from mental oppression and psychological inferiority imposed to blacks by the power hungry people who seek authority, security, comfort and wealth through various ways, notably miseducation that Dr umar johnson has warned us about. i strongly support the methodology employed by Dr lwazi lushaba to introduce our students to decolonising set of ideas as a step forward towards African liberation, for biko teaches us that the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressed is the mind of the oppressed. hottep
