There is paucity of documented information on African thinking on disability. Available literature tends to present African response to persons with disabilities heavily skewed towards negativity and exclusion. Disability studies is an emerging scholarship in Africa, and the lens utilized for the exploration of disability, as a concept, and the lived experiences of persons with disabilities, have mainly emanated from the Global North until now when disability scholars and practitioners from the Global South are emerging. Most of the thinking about disability that guides the development of educational programs and scope of practice in Africa, emerged from Global North. This chapter suggests the revisiting of the negative view perceived of people of African descent regarding persons with disabilities by presenting other perspectives. It highlights the fact that it is difficult to know how Africans viewed disability before they were colonized. It advocates for the reconceptualization of how Africans view disability. The chapter ends by suggesting a strategy from an indigenous scholar of ensuring that relevant aspects which Africans learnt from disability scholars from the Global North are kept and combined with relevant African aspects, thereby creating a colourful blanket of disability knowledge systems that combines both systems.
