- W2267385616 abstract "This work examines two theories on the role of missionaries in the provision of educationto Africans in Zimbabwe in the context of the philosophy of hunhu/ubuntu. The twotheories are the theory of collaboration and the theory of benevolence. Beginning withthe latter, proponents of the theory of benevolence argue that missionaries aimed atbenefiting Africans when they came to Africa and provided education to Africans. Onthe other hand, proponents of the theory of collaboration maintain that missionaryactivities, including the provision of education to Africans, were part and parcel of alarger movement, the colonisation of Africa. So, largely, missionaries were collaboratingwith the colonial movement and supported it both overtly and covertly. It is then arguedthat missionary provision of education to Africans must be understood in the context ofthe missionaries’ role in supporting the colonial venture.Using the historico – inductive as well as the comparative approaches, this studyexamines the activities of missionaries in Zimbabwe in the context of these twocontending theories. It is argued, using the inductive argument, that if missionaries wereconcerned with the welfare of the African people, their activities should have been aimedat building onto what the Africans already had, their culture, traditions, civilization,values, and education, and that relations with Africans would have been characterised byrespect for Africans, especially their philosophy of life, the philosophy of hunhu/ubuntu.After a discussion of the African philosophy of hunhu/ubuntu, the two theories, Christianmissionaries’ view of Africans as well as the goals and activities of the missionariesamongst Africans, and Africans’ perceptions and reactions to missionary education, theconclusion is drawn that missionaries, if considered from an African perspectivegrounded in the philosophy of hunhu/ubuntu, can be characterised at best as collaboratorswith the colonial regime. The missionaries ignored the philosophy of hunhu/ubuntuwhich permeated every aspect of African life in Zimbabwe. That Africans benefitedfrom missionary activities is undeniable, but it is the intentions that missionaries had incoming to Africa and the means of ensuring that their intentions were realised that lead tothe above conclusion." @default.
