Unfortunately my knowledge of post colonial Africa is largely concentrated on the illegal white regimes in Portuguese Africa, Rhodesia, and Apartheid South Africa. So although I’ll try to answer this question, this answer may not be what you’re looking for.

For South Africa, their views towards the traditional medical practices of the indigenous population spanned from indifference to actively attempting to replace. I’ll cite mostly from Gavin Cawthra’s “Brutal Force: The Apartheid War Machine” and his discussion of the South African total onslaught defence policy. As a part of their policy to secure the loyalty of the indigenous population of South Africa, and as a means of shoring up their wildly unpopular client regime in South West Africa, the state undertook large hospital building campaigns as a means of securing the loyalties of the native populations. As the South African governments plan to secure the loyalty of the indigenous population was through the provision of “modern and western” services, it is unlikely traditional medicine was included in any way in these newly constructed hospitals. Additionally, the South African state would “implant” reservist members for the citizen force into schools, in an attempt to inculcate “military values” in the non-white citizenry, and encourage greater military enrolment. As a result, public education in South Africa was very western, and did not include any education on traditional African medical practices. Although there is a lack of good information on the “on the ground” situation of the Bantustans, given the lack of effective governance, and the governmental focus on security as opposed to public services, in part because the role of the Bantustans as wellsprings cheap labour, control over the local education systems was much lower. As a result, ad hoc or unofficial schools may have contained mention or focus on traditional and indigenous medicine, but I couldn’t say anything with certainty, as I haven’t seen any mention of traditional medicine in the Bantustans.

For Portuguese Africa, my knowledge is more military focused, but again, the Portuguese government engaged in a “hearts and minds” approach, though in this situation with a much heavier focus on cultural assimilation. This focus on culture stems from the Portuguese idea of Lusotropicalism, and technically “race blind” view on Portuguese cultural identity. Most of my answer for this portion will be based on John P. Cann’s Counterinsurgency in Africa: The Portuguese Way of War, 1961-1974. Due to their focus on assimilating the native Angolan, Bissau-Guinean, Mozambican, and Cape Verdeans, the Portuguese government sought to make their publicly funded education teach students the Portuguese language and the values of Portuguese culture. Consequently, education in the colonies was again very western, and very much so concerned with assimilating the students, meaning that focus on indigenous identities and practices was actively discouraged.

I know that you probably wouldn’t consider either of these two societies to be post-colonial, but given the time frame in which they exist, I thought my answer may interest you.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes or errors, I’m writing this on my phone.
