Knowledge production practices in higher institutions of learning in Zambia: a case of the University of Zambia (original) (raw)

Ki tabo ni buitumelo, to finally say 'thank you' to everyone who contributed in one way or another towards this long and very painful journey. Thanks go to my supervisor Dr J. Gretchen Smith, Prof Jaya Raju and all the staff of the Department of Knowledge and Information Stewardship at UCT for their support rendered to me during my studies: that assistance enabled me to complete this work. This work would not have been possible without the assistance of so many people:  Dr Akakandelwa Akakandelwa-for help with statistics.  Ms Felicitas N. Moyo-for being the study mate. Thanks also go to the University of Zambia for the support; material and otherwise rendered to me. Milimo Mwiba, for all the shared memories. Bui tumelo to my family members: My beloved late mother who passed on just before I submitted my final thesis; Ma-Inambao Makula Siyumbwa Kanyengo; My Sisters-Gertrude Liyungu Kanyengo Imataa and Brendah (Ma-Lisulo) Kakulwa Kanyengo and all my nieces and nephews. To Yusuf Ahmed, thank you for all the love and support; because of you, I have achieved so much. Thank you for accompanying me on this excruciating journey…….it has been too long.
