In addition, it will be unjust not to express gratitude to the university’s Postdoctoral Research Office (and indeed to the officers and administrators in that office) who have managed funds that aided me in carrying out this research. The Fellowship (UJ Global Excellence and Stature–GES) has been of particular assistance to both my upkeep and for facilitating some aspects related to this book project. To ignore mentioning the role that Professor Thaddeus Metz played during this period will be grossly unfair. Metz was my hosting professor and was responsible for overseeing my academic grooming and growth at UJ for the period 2018–2020. His expert ideas and encouragement have been invaluable to the ultimate realization of the book. Thank you very much Professor; may you continue the good work of grooming future African scholars.
