Reineth is an emeritus professor from the University of Pretoria. Her research focuses on mutual aid groups, the use of activities and crafts in group work , and a recognition of indigenous group work practices. She was the international contributor for the 9th global edition of the Toseland and Rivas (2022) book called an introduction to Group Work Practice published by Pearson.
In this podcasts there is a discussion on the definition by Prof Prinsloo on a South African definition of group work. She shares on the indigenous mutual aid groups. She shared on why she sees indigenous knowledge is fundamental for locally relevant social work practice in a globally recognised profession. In the past, the development of professional social work in Africa was dominated by knowledge and theories from the West. In this podcast there is some discussion on Ubuntu, which equals group work and group work =ubuntu.
She questions if the present Gen Z has forgotten from Ubuntu and there is need to reignite the passion for collective support. As she says the time for Group work is now!
