The paper covers an interview with Professor Themba Andrew Dube that captures his academic career that spans ordered algebraic structures, frames (locales), category theory, and pointfree function rings. The dialogue between the author and Dube features some of the work of Dube's doctoral students that influenced his research direction. The collaborative work of Dube and his relationships with prominent local and international scholars is exchanged in the conversation. We also narrate Dube's academic citizenry in Quaestiones Mathematicae, the journal of the South African Mathematical Society, whilst he was Editor-in-Chief. The paper gives a valuable historical account of Dube's contribution to the South African mathematical landscape and the African mathematical diaspora. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
