Advisory Council Member of the National Liberation Heritage Institute of South Africa (NaLHISA), which is a non-profit, non-partisan organisation registered in South Africa as a Trust, established to safeguard, digitise, and promote South Africa's liberation and Pan-African heritage. It aims to ensure that the rich, multifaceted narratives of both South African liberation movements that spanned across African geographies, global borders, generations, and ideological traditions are preserved and mobilised for education, heritage, development, and social cohesion. I am deeply passionate about Africa’s heritage and its connection to the continent’s economic emancipation, advocating for approaches that honor our cultural identity while advancing prosperity.
NaLHISA implements strategic, high-impact programmes including:
*Liberation Heritage Digitisation Projects in collaboration with the liberation movement
formations, state archives, and civil society;
*International archival recovery and knowledge repatriation, connecting the continent with its records housed abroad;
*The Liberation Historians Network, convening scholars, artists, historians, veterans, and memory workers across Africa and the diaspora;
*Heritage education for youth and schools, including curriculum-aligned materials and public exhibitions, to promote the active involvement of young people as present and future custodians of liberation heritage.
*Governance and digital infrastructure support for national archives and museums.
