The South African sport science curriculum is presented to students with content that foregrounds sport achievement but neglects institutional dilemmas. This study intervened by exposing it's racist past and capitalist nature. It done so by drawing on previous work on higher education and sport science curriculum, which analyzed curriculum as a polemical ideological construct. The analysis showed how the South African sport science field was characterised in the past and continues in the present, by a lack of critical engagement with politics of curriculum. Thus, this article calls for a decolonisation perspective on the sport science curriculum. After an introduction that explored the epistemological foundations of the South African sport science curriculum, the study attempted to define the term, curriculum through a capitalist logic. Next, historical continuities and changes in the sport science curriculum was explored. Finally, the study was concluded by suggestions for consideration for future scholars and activists with a decolonised agenda.
