Abstract
Social transformation in Africa calls for creating solutions that address the plethora of issues that the continent faces.
Already burgeoning evidence shows how societies around the world are undergoing social transformation, and presents the actors behind it.
Studies on social transformation in Africa by Africans and its necessity in Africa is an urgent need for African countries.
This study focusses on how social transformation is happening in Africa starting from the individual, through the household occupants, and culminates in the larger community, the nation. It addresses the African issues that call for social transformation of Africans and by Africans today.
Transformation of the mindset, the willingness to start a process of systematic change, and the prevailing tendency of the heart to do what is morally good, are some of the most important requirements for a sustainable social transformation in Africa.
This paper defines social transformation in African perspective and examines what drives social transformation in the continent. There is enough consensus that African problems must be addressed through African solutions, that is why African indigenous solutions to African social issues will significantly contribute to creating sustainable working solutions that can socially transform Africa.
