African Time
Not a flaw, but a different civilisational logic rooted in event and relational rhythms.
African Time
Reframing 'African time' as a rich, event-based rhythm rooted in community and nature.
African Time
What is African time?
It’s event-based, relational, ecological, ritual, and cyclical—not clock-driven.
Why is it misunderstood?
How does it differ from Western time?
Is African time a flaw?
Can these views coexist?
Because it doesn’t fit Western productivity or industrial time standards.
Western time is divisible and monetizable; African time is contextual, collective, and tied to relationships and nature’s cycles.
No, it reflects a different civilizational logic, not a deficiency or delay.
Yes, understanding both enriches how we relate to time and each other.
