DEI In The Global South

DECOLONISATION AND AFROCENTRIC LEADERSHIP

ESTABLISHING A REPOSITORY OF AFRICAN RESEARCH AND KNOWLEDGE

T

he Thabo Mbeki Presidential Centre, scheduled to open in 2025, is designed to be ‘a living library and museum that aims to educate and inspire all Africans to be agents of the African Renaissance’. It will serve as a space for excellence, learning, research, discourse, and cultural exchange, grounded in the African perspective. The center’s narrative will unfold the story of Africa’s development, liberation, and renewal, emphasizing the work and impact of former President Mbeki and other historical and contemporary African leaders. Rooted in the past yet challenging the present, the Thabo Mbeki Presidential Centre seeks to pave the way for a brighter future. It aims to build community by celebrating the diverse identity, beauty, and creativity of African people and cultures. This celebration will be facilitated through exhibitions, academic resources, and an archive containing inspiring artifacts that encapsulate pivotal historic moments.
