Presenting various case studies on epistemic freedom, theology, race and robotics, tertiary education, political and economic transformation, human capital, and governance, it debates whether the 4IR will be part of the solution to the African problem, namely that of coloniality in its various forms. Solving the African problem using the 4IR requires ethical, just and epistemologically independent leadership. However, the lack of ICT infrastructure militates against Africas endeavours to make the 4IR a problem-solving moment. To its credit, Africa possesses some of the major capital needed (human, mineral, and social), and it constitutes a huge market comprising a young population eager to participate in the 4IR as problem-solvers and not as a problem to be solvedas equal citizens and not as the marginalized other. 001442693 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 22, 2021). 001442693 650_0 $$aIndustry 4.0$$zAfrica. 001442693 650_6 $$aIndustrie 4.0$$zAfrique. 001442693 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001442693 7001_ $$aBenyera, Everisto,$$eeditor. 001442693 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAfrica and the fourth Industrial Revolution.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer, [2022]$$z3030875237$$z9783030875237$$w(OCoLC)1264716746 001442693 830_0 $$aAdvances in African economic, social and political development. 001442693 852__ $$bebk 001442693 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-87524-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001442693 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1442693$$pGLOBAL_SET 001442693 980__ $$aBIB 001442693 980__ $$aEBOOK 001442693 982__ $$aEbook 001442693 983__ $$aOnline 001442693 994__ $$a92$$bISE
