In this article, we reflect on the process of the implementation of enacted social justice through the concepts of conscious affirmation and informed compassion, within the methodological processes utilized when carrying out a qualitative research study in a South African Indigenous community. The enactment of social justice during the study conceptualization and implementation process is evidenced by ensuring the conformity of the research processes to relevant and culturally congruent approaches as endorsed by the participants and context. We further reflect on the challenges and benefits experienced in this process while arguing for the relevance of exploring the use of conscious affirmation and informed compassion to support an enacted social justice process for research within African Indigenous communities.

在本文中，我们在南非土著社区进行定性研究时所采用的方法学过程中，通过有意识的肯定和知情同情的概念，反思了已制定的社会正义的实施过程。通过确保研究过程符合参与者和背景所认可的相关和文化上一致的方法，可以证明在研究概念化和实施过程中社会正义的制定。我们进一步思考在此过程中所遇到的挑战和利益，同时主张探索使用有意识的肯定和知情同情以支持已制定的社会正义程序进行非洲土著社区研究的相关性。
