Striving for The Africa We Want By 2063: Can African Political Leaders Adapt The Mwalimu Nyerere Leadership Philosophy?

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.
