Declarations
:
: Ethical clearance was obtained from the University of the Witwatersrand Human Non-Medical Research Ethics committee, protocol No: H19/04/10. We do note, in the context of ethics, that while we have integrated the term ‘indigenous’ more extensively in this manuscript at the request of the reviewers, it is strictly to be read in relation to the literature and theory of indigenous knowledge systems, as within some countries this term in isolation can be considered pejorative.
: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose, financial or otherwise. JF serves on the editorial board of this journal but has had no involvement in any stage of the review process.
: Not applicable.
