Join host Neil Campher of CS Business Group (South Africa), as he facilitates a thought-provoking dialogue between amanuel melles, Executive Director of the Network for the Advancement of Black Communities (NABC) in Toronto, Canada, and Professor Bhekithemba Mngomezulu, Director of the Centre for the Advancement of Non-Racialism and Democracy (CANRAD) in South Africa. This episode takes a deep dive into how societal structures interact and influence the daily lives of Black communities, exploring effective strategies for systemic transformation.
amanuel melles brings a unique blend of expertise from his background in marine ecology and community advocacy, discussing how Afrocentric principles and value systems are pivotal in driving systemic transformation. His dual perspective sheds light on integrating traditional African values to enhance modern governance and social structures. On the other hand, Professor Mngomezulu offers an incisive critique of the slow progress in post-apartheid South Africa. He champions a decolonised and Afrocentric approach to education and public policy, arguing that these are essential for true equity and development in South African society.
This episode is not just about understanding the theoretical aspects of systemic transformation but is enriched with personal anecdotes, scholarly insights, and real-world examples of systemic change in action. Tune in to gain a deeper appreciation of how these leaders use their knowledge and experiences to foster meaningful dialogue and inspire actionable change in their communities.
