Nelson Mandela discusses the definition of "ubuntu"

The philosophy of UBUNTU is contained within the CYA Vision.

UBUNTU (Zulu/Xhosa) English pronuciation : oo-BUUN-too. Ubuntu is a humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word ubuntu has its origins in the Bantu languages of southern Africa. The philosophy, however, is mirrored in cultures around Africa and the world.
