Abstract
Nyasha Mboti is an Associate Professor
and Head of Department in the
Department of Communication Studies
at the University of Johannesburg. Prof.
Mboti’s keen interest in academia is
to ask questions that people do not
normally intend, or think, to ask – his
view being that knowledge is not finding
whatever is put there to be found, like
in a game of hide-and-seek. Rather,
knowledge is knowing what is not
intended to be known. Prof Mboti is
currently researching possibilities for
the emergence of a new theoretical
paradigm called “Apartheid Studies”,
the subject of his new book Apartheid
Studies (Africa World Press, 2018). Invitation
