ABSTRACT/INTRODUCTION AND CITING:
Abstract: There has not been a comprehensive definition of Ubuntu until recently. Ubuntu was previously simply defined as ubuntu ngumuntu ngabantu, meaning a person becomes human because of other people. However, this definition refers to just one aspect of Ubuntu, relationality. A most recent definition of Ubuntu says it ‘is the worldview of Black people of Africa from where they derive relational, communal, societal, environmental and spiritual knowledges, values and practices’
