Abstract

This article analyses the protection of indigenous knowledge in South Africa, exploring if and how indigenous knowledge is aligned with existing policy and protocol frameworks as enacted by the government. Indigenous knowledge is mainly preserved in the memories of elders and shared through oral communication and traditional practices. The question arises: How can knowledge generated in indigenous knowledge systems research be recovered and protected to benefit indigenous knowledge owners and accessible for future generations? The study utilised literature review to critically analyse the policy, protocols, and strategies relating to the protection and preservation of indigenous knowledge systems. Decolonial theory and knowledge ontology and modelling framework were also used as underpinning theories to guide the study. Recommendations suggest the need for decolonizing indigenous knowledge systems through collaborative approach with indigenous knowledge holders and their communities.
