In Africa, the question of decoloniality and post-coloniality is characterized by two main approaches: the popular and the official. The official approach prevails mostly in institutions of higher learning, political circles, and among activists. The popular approach, is found mostly at the grass-root level of society, among ordinary people. This paper identifies the weakness of the official approach through the lens of ordinary folks in rural areas of the Coastal Region in Tanzania. Do they have an experience of decoloniality and post-coloniality? If they do, how do they manage to maintain their indigenous knowledge and identity? Based on tentative findings from the field, I argue that although they are not aware of the academic jargons expressing the phenomenon, they have an experience of the reality of decoloniality. For most folks, post-coloniality is just an invention of African elites and politicians. I maintain that for most ordinary folks, the discourse on decoloniality is a form of colonialism because it is imposed. I conclude by making a plea to the proponents of decoloniality and post-decoloniality to pay close attention to what ordinary people have been doing in preserving their indigenous knowledge and identity and the methods they are using to resist colonization. In that way academicians, may perhaps find the right path to the decolonization of the continent.
