Davids, Nuraan; Waghid, Yusef – Africa Education Review, 2019
By far the most challenging task faced by schools in post-apartheid South Africa, has been the distance educational leaders were mandated to put between the educational institutions and the apartheid legacy of racial discrimination and exclusion.
