Introduction
South Africa's society in the emerging post-industrial era requires a new form of
exceptional – almost heroic – leadership because the traditions, institutions, values and
balances of a complex and divergent society need to be developed. The future hangs in
a balance. As a traditional society, South Africa depends on the statesmanship,
generosity and charity of leadership. This can be gained by understanding, accepting and
practising the implications of the dual worldviews that are prevalent in South Africa society
that is the Western view and Ubuntu. Ubuntu emphasizes the richness of people's cultural
heritage and goes a long way in providing principles for application in practice, especially
for whatever we engage in as participants in the world of work. At the same time, the
philosophy of Ubuntu also challenges African societies to move away from the existing
misunderstandings of different races and cultures. With its concern that people in South
Africa should pay more attention to the strategic importance of education at this stage of
transformation, this study explores the implications for educational management and
leadership of an Afro centric heritage. African people need to discard a slave mentality
and begin to develop a royal mind-set that has pride in its heritage of cultural diversity.
Ubuntu is neither a narrow racial nor a trivial and sectional concept. It is both a uniquely
African and a universal concept.
