In this minithesis, I investigate the potential role of indigenous healers in life skills education in South African schools. The main focus of this study is to explore how indigenous knowledge of traditional healers can contribute to the development of life skills education in South African schools. This knowledge, which has historically been repressed and marginalized, needs to be given a rightful place in the development of South Africa.

I then discuss health promotion in schools in the context of life skills and health education. An international and local perspective on indigenous knowledge is also discussed.

Hence this study also investigates the research ethics when conducting research with traditional healers..
