Our very own Dr Olivia Lwabukuna @olivialwabs has been announced by The Africa Report as one of the 10 African scholars to watch in 2025! As Dr Lwabukuna told The Africa Report: The most intriguing aspect of her work is “seeing, learning, researching and teaching about Africa from first hand experiences – being a primary source.” #africa #policy #research @SASNews @LondonU
