    The Passing of Prof Ntokozo Mthembu

    Dear South African Sociological Association Members and Community, 

    It is with deep sadness that we inform SASA members and the broader

    academic community of the passing of Professor Ntokozo Mthembu. Prof

    Mthembu was working in the Department of Sociology at UNISA, where he

    obtained his doctorate. Before that he was with the Centre for Civil Society at

    the University of KwaZulu-Natal. He was a member of the SASA council of

    2018-2019. During his term of office, he championed the formation of a

    working group on African Languages, Indigenisation and Knowledge Systems,

    which he became convener of. Mthembu was a passionate Afrocentric scholar

    who dedicated his scholarship to advancing the interests of the African

    continent. He made his mark and left a legacy that we must build upon. His

    participation and contribution will be sorely missed. He will be remembered

    always by his colleagues, family and friends.

    Ulale ngoxolo Mvelase!

    Warm regards, 

    SASA Exec and Council
