Abstract:
This paper aimed to explore information to answer the question, "Can African
political leaders adapt to the Mwalimu Nyerere leadership philosophy as we
strive for the Africa we want by 2063?" The study used a systematic literature
review covering 18 published scholarly articles based on the data saturation
principle. Based on the findings, we conclude that embracing Mwalimu
Nyerere's leadership philosophy is essential, as it will enhance the capabilities
of both current and future African leaders to devise and execute leadership
strategies that address the needs of the African community, thereby promoting
the realization of the Africa we want by 2063. We recommend that public
leaders in Africa embrace Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere’s leadership
philosophy to attain the Africa we want by 2063.
