African Language and Culture in Practice
QUESTION 1
1.1 Ubuntu and Its Presence in My Culture (10 marks) Ubuntu is a Southern African
philosophy that emphasizes human kindness, interconnectedness, and community
values. The term is often expressed as "Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu", meaning "a
person is a person through other people." It highlights respect, compassion, and
communal support.
In my culture, Ubuntu is embraced through various practices, such as:
Helping neighbors in times of need without expecting anything in return.
Respecting elders and considering their wisdom in decision-making.
Participating in communal gatherings and supporting community projects.
Sharing food and resources with those who are less fortunate.
For example, when a family in our community experiences a tragedy, neighbors
contribute money, food, and emotional support to help them recover. This reflects the
spirit of Ubuntu.
