Africa Academy of Management Search form Presidential Address Embracing the Secular in our Sacred Scholarly World In this Address I reflect on the journey of AFAM with regard to its past present and future. As a new scholarly community AFAM is called to the sacred society. Its future therefore should be based on the use of the legitimacy associated with that calling to enact its strategic role facilitating transformation of African societies by assuming the paramount duty of parrhesia. As a parrhesiatic organization AFAM has to engage in valuecreating practices through its discourses so that it can endow Africans with the right and ability to speak.
