Here is a remarkable creative and critical thinker who is insufficiently understood and recognized in his country, South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not strange that he is not a well known celebrity. Nobody knows your name when you the best. Whenever he presents Chairman’s Remarks at the Annual Mandela Memorial Lecture, you encounter a meticulously researched, carefully nuanced and immensely insightful introduction to contemporary socio-political developments<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thinker and writer Professor Njabulo Ndebele is not your run of the mill analyst. He is a visionary and prophetic voice.Fine, as VC he did not do anything near enough to transform racist UCT. But he remains one of the country’s greatest thinkers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
