Dr. John Mambambo

The Editing Centre team is headed by a Language Expert with academic and industry experience. Dr Mambambo holds a PhD in Language, Linguistics and Literature and was the first in Africa to translate “Decolonising the mind” into an African language. He was nominated for and granted a prestigious Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Rhodes University in June 2021 where he focussed on the expansion of his “Decolonising the mind” project into five more African languages; isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Ndebele (Zim) and Kiswahili. He was also head-hunted for a Meta Senior Linguist position that saw the Facebook App being localised, for the first time ever, into Shona. He has 14 years of experience in localisation, copy editing, proofreading and translation. In addition to that, he has edited published texts and presented at international conferences. He has also edited numerous Master’s and PhD research from all South African & global universities. The Editing Centre is where language and passion converge.
