Screening: Intellectual Giants of the Eastern Cape

In the 19th and early 20th century, thousands of black South Africans embraced education through the mission schools of the Eastern Cape. It is from these people that several generations of Eastern Cape intellectuals emerged: people like Tiyo Soga, SEK Mqhayi, Phyllis Ntantala, and JT Jabavu. Yet these intellectuals did not simply assimilate into colonial ways of thinking, they resisted these frameworks, and instead developed their own ideas. Join us for screening of Intellectual Giants of the Eastern Cape with a follow up Q&A session by Sanele KaNtshingana and Hleze Kunju
