The Thabo Mbeki African School of Public and International Affairs (TM-School) is envisioned as a premier graduate school to advance public sector education in public and international affairs. T
In September 2020, His Excellency Thabo Mbeki, Chancellor of Unisa, said "our students should be encouraged to be thinkers and doers rather than accumulators of facts and receivers of knowledge. This must be so if they are to be instruments of change, working towards the realisation of a just and, consequently, a stable society".
The TM-School embraces transdisciplinary methodologies in the training of students.
The following are the focus areas of the TM-School:
• Citizenship studies
• International and Diplomacy Studies
• Peace and Conict Studies
• Public Leadership Studies
• Security and Intelligence Studies
• Simulations and Futuristic Studies
• Study of Government Affairs
• Sustainable Livelihoods & Resources Management
• Urban and Rural Affairs
Thabo Mbeki School
What will it take to renew leadership and governance in Africa?
In this keynote address at the Thabo Mbeki School, Professor Toyin Falola proposes six pillars for transformative governance: epistemic freedom, ethical leadership, cultural grounding, institutional accountability, Pan-African collaboration and citizen-centred government.
He also examines artificial intelligence, data colonialism, youth unemployment, migration, corruption and the responsibility of citizens in shaping Africa’s future.
His challenge is clear: Africa must combine ancestral intelligence with artificial intelligence—and governance reform cannot be postponed or delegated solely to political leaders.
Watch the full seminar and share which of the six pillars Africa should prioritise.
