provide bibliograpy"The word Ubuntu is derived from a Nguni (isiZulu) aphorism: Umuntu Ngumuntu
Ngabantu, which can be translated as “a person is a person because of or
through others” (Moloketi, 2009:243; Tutu, 2004:25-26).
Ubuntu can be described as the capacity in an African culture to express compassion,
reciprocity, dignity, humanity and mutuality in the interests of building and
maintaining communities with justice and mutual caring (Khoza, 2006:6; Luhabe,
2002:103; Mandela, 2006:xxv; Tutu, 1999:34-35).
Ubuntu is the basis
of African communal cultural life. It expresses the interconnectedness, common
humanity and the responsibility of individuals to each other (Koster, 1996:99-118;
Nussbaum, 2003:21-26). "
