| description | In the interest of Zimbabwe’s socio-economic transformation agenda, the scourge of corruption
has to be stopped. This paper sought to accurately locate African indigenous knowledge systems
focused specifically on Shona proverbs in the ongoing discourse on corruption. It is observed
that indigenous knowledge systems do not condone corruption. The research established here is
that any reference to African indigenous knowledge systems to justify corruption is a blatant
misreading and abuse of African (Shona) indigenous knowledge. Thus, it is recommended that
all citizens embrace the values of hunhuism (an African philosophy) in word and in deed for an
sustainable socio-economic transformation. The paper is inspired by Afrocentric reasoning and
therefore, made use of in-depth interview and critical text analysis in its methodology. |
