Zusammenfassung:It has become fashionable to hear the term “Africanization” used increasingly in public discourse in South Africa today. It would seem that such talk realizes that the embodiment of Africanization implies that change is inevitable in theological curricula. For proper Africanization to be realized, however, a history of dislocation must be evoked. This article is an attempt to highlight the view that Africanization as a form of public discourse must engage with a number of substantive issues related to Africa, if this is to be taken seriously. This article laments a culture of conquest, which, inter alia, had accelerated the dismissal of African worldviews and knowledge systems, as irrelevant and unnecessary, for the true salvation of the African subject.
