Abstract
The role of leisure education in equipping individuals and society to participate in leisure is well-researched in scholarship. In this commentary, we argue that incorporating indigenous knowledge systems (derived from South Africa’s (SA) diverse peoples, cultures and languages) in leisure education may promote inclusivity, cultural relevance and alternative leisure perspectives. Drawing from various scholarly perspectives, this article defines leisure education, revisits the concept of leisure, explores the concept of indigenous knowledge systems and presents a case for the inclusion of indigenous knowledge in the SA context. The implications that are drawn from the discussion call for a re-thinking of leisure education so that it responds to SA’s contextual realities through the strategic incorporation of indigenous knowledge. This may contribute towards contextualized leisure research methods, wholesome leisure education content, creative resource-attainment strategies, novel knowledge-transfer methods and unique skill-equipping techniques that may advance leisure wellness, social cohesion and the leisure profession in SA.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
