Abstract
The decolonisation of education is not a new conversation and not only a South African one. However, following the student protests of 2015 and 2016 we have witnessed a renewed interest in decolonisation in relation to higher education in South Africa. Evidence of this is the proliferation of literature on the topic, conferences with decolonisation as its theme, special issues of journals on the topic, and so forth. We can infer from all of this that decolonisation of the university curriculum has become a hotly contested terrain in South African higher education. It has produced both evangelists and sceptics. In my chapter, I hope to provide some clarity on the topic/debate. I shall specifically discuss: what might be meant by decolonisation; why the need for decolonisation; and suggest probable pathways for decolonising the university curriculum in South Africa.
