A look back into yesterday's Student dialogue on Students leadership perspectives on the Africanization of Higher Education with a keynote address from Pedro Mzileni
Which highlighted how Colonialism turned into colonality, which was a result of land expropriation without compensation, which later required labour of black people to produce wealth and riches for the white. Through our land being dispossessed, our source of life was taken from us as black people. We were forced into labour and slavery to be able to survive. We find ourselves living in a society where the rules of colonality still exist.
It was further highlighted that Institutions of higher learning have become factories of capitalism where the minds of black people are taught that it is okay to fall into the white capitalist monopoly and further encourages us as black Africans to be proud of that capitalist system which labels us as cheap and disposable labour which can be dispossed off should we no longer serve the capitalist interest.
We were joined by Leaders of the different political formations on campus who formed part of our student dialogue as panelists, to give their organizational inputs on the Africanization of Higher Education
