ABSTRACT
This chapter takes an account of Kholeka Constance Moloi's academic journey and her experiences as a lecturer at a prominent white university in Johannesburg, which was instrumental in shaping her career as an Indigenous social researcher. It explores how Moloi engaged with the recent fashioning of Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) in the field of scholarship, having over the years been trained in Western ways of knowledge systems and production. She learned that Indigenous research contains four dimensions: what, why, how, and for whom. She also admitted that knowledge management is the terminology of globalization and neoliberal management systems that support an ideology of neoliberal globalization that is engulfing sub-Saharan Africa and the higher education sector. The chapter explains how western imperialist terms, namely, social capital, human capital, and structural capital, localized within the South African Indigenous context. Now South Africa is slowly undergoing transition within the education system.
