Abstract
Among the much-heralded conceptual terms in the development literature, one would be hard to find the word ‘development’ left unchallenged. For many, ‘development’ has become a term of much contention. This paper acknowledges this fact. However, we argue that rather than discard the term as some mal-development theorists may argue, what is most appropriate is to work with it by bringing a more critical gaze to our search for genuine development options for Africa and, in fact, the Global South.
