The word ‘ubuntu’ has its origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa, and is seen as a traditional African concept. It is to say, ‘My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in yours.’ We belong in the bundle of life. We say, ‘A person is a person through other persons.’ It is not, ‘I think therefore I am.’ It is rather: ‘I am human because I belong, I participate, I share.’

A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed, or treated as if they were less than who they are.
