THE supposition that epistemic knowledge production is neutral and not biased have been rigorously debunked and further critically engaged.
Epistemic knowledge production is situated and has locality, and the knower situation is evident in the known.

The public discourse about the South Africa negotiation is situated in polarising the âethnicâ violence between AmaZulu and AmaXhosa.
