Abstract
For decades, scholars from the Global North
have written the disability script from their
own perspective, writing it for persons with
disabilities and for disability scholarship in the
Global South. A mould has been broken and African
scholars have now begun re-writing the script
from their own perspectives and from the Global
South’s perspective. Using Decolonial Theory
and the systematic review method, the paper is
based on the work of Professor Tsitsi Chataika,
which has impacted disability scholarship from
an African context and from the Global South at
large. The work contributes extensively to disability
scholarship in terms of disability conception,
disability theory, disability policy and inclusion of
persons with disabilities in society and of students
with disabilities in higher education in African
countries. The scholar shifts the narrative from
writing disability scholarship from the Global North
to the South.
