The overarching vision of the 2050 Africa's Integrated Maritime
Strategy is to foster increased wealth creation from Africa's
oceans and seas by developing a sustainable thriving blue economy
in a secure and environmentally sustainable manner. The Law of the
Sea: The African Union and its Member States provides a first and
firm foundation for an assessment and the further development of
the legal aspects of ocean governance on the continent. It is an
indispensable reference for all the role players in the African
Maritime Domain, including agencies and governments, business,
civil society, lawyers, scientists and students.
Let us rewrite our history; A history that speaks of Africa as
experienced by Africans. Let us rewrite our history that speaks of
ubuntu traditions, isintu practices and umuntu/abantu as central
pillars of society. Let us rewrite a narrative that speaks isintu
sethu - setso sa rona, isintu - setso sa rona as a 'Set of Rules'
for all practices in society. Twenty-five years after the delivery
of political democracy, the Edenic projects of nonracialism and the
Rainbow Nation have failed because there was no fuller appreciation
of what is meant by ubuntu. Ubuntu consists of three integral
parts: first, amasiko, which consists of traditions, norms and
customs; isintu: rituals, performances and practices that help with
the embodiment of ubuntu; and umuntu, the performer and
practitioner of isintu and bearer of the ubuntu value system as a
state of being and identity. The version of ubuntu that was used
and applied immediately after 1994 for engendering nationbuilding
should have initially been focused on rebuilding the Black social
groups before there were attempts at rebuilding all races, through
the defunct Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), and forging
social cohesion through short-term sporting codes such as the 1995
Rugby World Cup, the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2010 Fifa
World Cup. Such an understanding of ubuntu, exemplified above, came
across as sanitised and a quick fix that could not undo centuries
of dehumanisation, as characterised by apartheid. By definition and
practice, that is anathema to ubuntu since it depreciated the value
systems and performances of isintu of the majority population and
defiled the humanity of both the Black people and their white
counterparts. Isintu ought to be regarded as a tool of inculcation
of rules, norms and traditions that structure limits and help with
the embodiment of ubuntu. This book regards it as well suited for
solving the impasse currently witnessed in South Africa. It is only
with the inclusion of the analysis and discussion of isintu that
ubuntu may be understood and reveal its performative prowess in the
production of identities and a variety of capitals meant to sustain
the societies of sub-Saharan Africa. Needless to say, some aspects
of ubuntu may well be suitable for export as representative of
humanism or critical humanism. However, the system of ubuntu needs
to be properly rationalised before it can be chopped down and
paraded as a universal tool. The tendency of parading ubuntu as a
universal tool of humanism has tended to weaken it along with
individuals whose bodies and geographies are a locus for
cultivation identities and diverse forms of capital that help enact
and sustain local value systems. This book presents the true
meaning of ubuntu, which has its roots in communitarian societies
and their value systems. As part of an international benchmark on
the viability of local value systems as a conceptual framework for
performances of production aimed at a fulfilled citizenry, the book
compares ubuntu to its counterpart value systems of Confucianism in
China and Jantelagen in Sweden.
The main aim of any education system is to provide effective
teaching and learning for its community through specific
aims/objectives, an education policy, and various processes and
programmes, all of which are in constant interaction with the
environment and its contextual coordinates. The school, as one of
the structures within this system, is responsible for bringing all
of these things to the area it serves. It consists of a unique
grouping of people, and any educational manager and leader needs to
have a basic knowledge of the school as an organisation in order to
manage and lead it effectively, particularly in the arena of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution. Schools as organisations focuses on
different perspectives of organisational theory in education.
Schools as organisations discusses how, as is the case in any
organisation, the presence of people within the school gives it a
unique character of communality and creates certain relationships,
which means that mutual arrangements have to be made in terms of
task distribution and the exercising of authority. Schools as
organisations is essential for postgraduate students in the fields
of educational management, leadership and organisational theory in
education. In addition, leaders and managers at all levels in the
education system will find the book an invaluable resource.

present day in the area under discussion. Particular attention is
paid to the impact of the two World Warson Kent; to the influence
of national events on local institutions and people; to the role of
the county council in the development of many aspects of life in
Kent; and to the major economic and social changes of the last
thirty years, many of them associated with Britain's entry into the
European economic community and Kent's strategic importance as a
corridor linking London and Britain to Europe. NIGEL YATES is
