The two who taught me political science were alumni of the University of Pretoria and the University of Durban-Westville . One was a descendant of Afrikaners and the other of Indians.
The two lecturers were also victims, albeit in a different way from black graduates. Their flaws were, however, consistent, with the historical path imposed from a common inheritance, informed by racial prejudice. I wondered why my lecturers, when they had an opportunity to address such erasure did not do so. They continued with the dogmatic discourse, which renewed epistemic violence initiated by bygone colonialists.
The incongruence worried me. It baffled me that the discipline of political science reflected a critical gap of a lack of insights of black Africans. This persists.
