A critical understanding of good governance and leadership concepts written in the context of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and the challenges to contextual discourse on Africa's development paradigmsFootnote1

1. The article is partly developed from Maserumule's on-going doctoral study on the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) in terms of its treatment of the concept good governance and a paper he presented at the 2006 Social Sciences Conference, a collaborative research conference convened by the Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA), the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and the Social Network of South Africa (SSNSA). Professor Gutto subsequently collaborated with Maserumule to substantially expand and deepen the original version by, among others, connecting good governance to leadership and situating African scholarship within the dynamics of changes (historical context) that have characterised Africa's politics and socioeconomic realities since the 1960s.
