An approximate interpretation of the word ubuntu is humanity in relation to others. Another possible translation is faith in the universal bonds of community that bind all of humanity. .
Archbishop Desmond Tutu in 1999 gave the following definition of ubuntu:
A person with ubuntu is open and accessible to others, accepts other people, does not see any danger for himself that others are talented and kind, because he is confident in himself, understanding that he is part of a larger whole, and, conversely, a person with ubuntu is oppressed when others are insulted or humiliated, tortured or oppressed.
Original textA person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of 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.- Desmond Tutu [1]
