ABOUT US

The Centre for Leadership Ethics in Africa (CLEA) seeks to cultivate ethical, responsible, reflective critical leaders. Our Director, Dr Christopher Allsobrook, also leads the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Niche Area in African Liberation Heritage. Our Senior Researcher, Dr Motsamai Molefe, is a renowned expert on African Ethics. CLEA collaborates with various academic departments at the University of Fort Hare, to conduct research and supervise postgraduate research in Leadership Studies, in Political Philosophy, in Applied Ethics and in Intellectual History. We host public seminars and colloquia throughout the year, addressing political, ethical, socio-economic, cultural, and environmental challenges facing leaders and citizens in the post-colonial African context. 

COLLABORATIONS

Since 2010 CLEA has collaborated with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung to convene a series of quarterly workshops with select groups of senior student leaders, from Fort Hare, Rhodes, and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, on issues of Social Democracy, Governance and Citizenship, with prominent politicians, labour and business leaders, academics, and activists
