Thank you Yonah 01:46:58 Takondwa Jumbe: how does decolonization work when the powers that have the power to authorize or vet an education system themselves dont recognize anything other than what they perceive as the right way to do things 01:48:19 Hadson: That is true... people in Africa are been forced to speak English up to extend of beating one and another mmmmmm๐Ÿ˜ข 01:51:01 Catriona Oates: good question - what models can we base this work on? 01:51:14 Catriona Oates: Reacted to "That is true... pe..." with ๐Ÿ˜ฎ 01:51:34 Catriona Oates: Replying to "That is true... pe..." it's really shocking... 01:51:51 Petro Du Preez: Posthuman literature presents interesting new avenues 01:52:10 Catriona Oates: Reacted to "Posthuman literatu..." with ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ 01:52:54 MariaPakpahan: so, actually what are you saying the anti colonial is a real change required, not just decolonialisation . I am more familiar with anti colonial movement than the decolonisation narrative. 01:54:50 Nahid Aslam: The USA is the son of Britain. The British still rule the he USA today. All presidents are the prodigy of Britain. Even Barack Obama has British ancestry through his mother 01:55:06 The Scotland Malawi Partnership: https://education.gov.scot/resources/breaking-the-mould-principles-for-an-anti-racist-curriculum/#:~:text='Breaking%20the%20mould'%20is%20about,all%20children%20and%20young%20people. 01:56:12 Hadson: Replying to "That is true... peop..." Yah, if the donar has funded the program, the teacher making everything possible to carry the day by using harsh treatment to his brothers and sisters. But still we live.... And today I am here wittinessing decolonizing session. And some side is feeling uncomfortable, is like attacking them. Darkness visited us before and we live in that๐Ÿ˜ข 01:57:18 Nahid Aslam: Will there ever be a time when Malawi will not need British aid to support and develop itself ? 02:00:57 Nahid Aslam: We just need to be truthful about the history of colonialism and not be defensive. The ordinary folk of Britain had no power to do anything in Africa. They may have benefitted from the fruits of slavery but that was only an aside. The real power lay with the Elite. 02:01:33 Valerie Wood-Gaiger MBE: Replying to "That is true... peop..." I tried to post an article about how ebooks could help preserve local history and languages but it was too long. Here is my email valeriewoodgaigermbe@gmail.comย  02:01:35 Pedro Munoz-Ramirez: That drives us then to questioning capitalism. In my view 02:03:42 Hadson: Replying to "Will there ever be a..." I don't think so, this can happen when democracy gives a room of doing business to our government. Our government is there to collect tax and begging aid to the world Investers 02:04:46 Hadson: Replying to "That is true... peop..." Thanks 02:05:41 Valerie Wood-Gaiger MBE: Replying to "That is true... peop..." my project - Learn with Grandma has a facebook group for Malawi https://www.facebook.com/groups/547672425370949/ 02:05:45 Pedro Munoz-Ramirez: Replying to "Will there ever be a..." I agree with Hadson. This is a pervasive issue in Latin America as well. "Aid" and "support" is normally tied to the promotion of the donor's interests. This is well known in Aid and International Relations theory 02:06:25 MariaPakpahan: Replying to "That is true... peop..." @Valerie Wood-Gaiger MBE would you be ale to send that article to my email please ? Here is my email umaklaran@yahoo.com 02:06:41 MariaPakpahan: Replying to "That is true... peop..." Thank you for sharing the info. 02:08:17 MariaPakpahan: Replying to "Will there ever be a..." not to mention how in average.. more than or about 20% of the aid is used for operational cost 02:08:40 Pedro Munoz-Ramirez: Fascinating talk. It reconnected me with my first research interest about colonisation. Unfortunately I have to leave now. Thank you very much Dr. Matemba and the organisation. 02:10:01 Takondwa Jumbe: On the issue of should we change Sir Gln Jones rd etc I think its necessary because the coming generations should be able to have the pride in their own names as street names. Achina Glyn Jones will still be in the history books and that will never change. 02:10:16 Nahid Aslam: Agreed. Coloniality affects all people. Some more than others. 02:10:47 Hadson: Replying to "Will there ever be a..." ๐Ÿ‘ 02:12:33 Nahid Aslam: Indian subcontinent 02:13:46 Catriona Oates: thank you Yonah - this was fascinating. we should be having these conversations every day! Thanks to SMP for hosting this excellent event. 02:14:04 Petro Du Preez: Thank you and good buy 02:14:10 Nahid Aslam: We need more workers, yes. But we also need more social services to be made available to them. Eg housing and school places.
