The papers published in this volume emanated from the presentations made by scholars across Africa who attended the conference in Pretoria. The conference was held between the 4th and 11th of July 2025 in collaboration with the African Academic Research Forum. The volumes 4 and 5 publications were products of that well attended conference.
I urge everyone to get copies of volumes 4 and 5 for an enriching deep knowledge on Administration, leadership and planning.
