“…This Special Issue does not provide a definitive statement about the informal economy in Africa. Rather, it is the beginning of a serious conversation about Africa's informal economy and the role it should play in the continent's aspirations for growth, development and transformation as articulated by, for example the African Union (De Ghetto, Gray & Kiggundu, 2016). We realize that we do not cover all the important questions about informality in Africa … more needs to be done; however, we do hope that together the articles in this Special Issue are informative, evocative and provocative.…”

“…Irrespective of the sector (public or private) or size of the organization (micro, small, medium, large) there is a need for managerial as well as "technical/professional" capacity for sustainable success (DeGhetto, Gray;& Kiggundu, 2016). Developing these capacities of developmental institutions and organizations is critical to the implementation of SDGs (Hope, 2011).…”

Africa is a continent with remarkable economic potential yet the least developed largely due to its inadequate human capital to transform this potential into social and economic development. The focus on provision of classroom education as the cornerstone of human capital development in Africa has not produced the desirable outcomes expected. We see an important role in this process within the workplace, and thus argue that the role of Human Resource (HR) professionals in Human Capital development in Africa deserves serious attention. The paper outlines why and how HR professionals can contribute to the development of Africa's human capital. It also highlights the challenges HR professionals will face and the competencies they will need to address the challenges. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research.

The conceptualisation of "community engagement" at Higher Education in South Africa remains a topic for debate in the transformation agenda. South African Indigenous knowledge has been transmitted and perennially refreshed through educational pedagogy that are characterized by a sensitivity to African Philosophy, axiology and the spirit of Ubuntu. This article presents a qualitative critical review from the perspective of African indigenous education of the conceptualisation of community engagement. Community engagement is explored as a contemporary pedagogical counterpart to the indigenous pedagogies that supported African epistemology and axiology and community engagement is positioned within a natural evolution of the South African indigenous education and human development framework. Since children are the most vulnerable and affected community it is postulated that a student-centred framework for community engagement would offer an empowering praxis for a new South African Indigenous Education. Community engagement conceptualised within African Indigenous Knowledge Systems is argued as a means towards authentic transformation giving "voice" and "agency" to communities across all levels of education. Within this framework, the article affirms the use of indigenous concepts and practices within a transformed education system where Higher Education assumes a key role-player in human development from the cradle to the grave.
