Ubuntu : Life lessons from Africa
How about a long, deep sip of beer from the calabash of beer on Ubuntu? Ubuntu is the African world view and philosophy of humanness.
Non-Africans can learn from this very respected and sacred philosophy which explains African thinking and behaviour. Dr. Johann Broodryk was the first person who obtained a doctorate’s degree on the topic of Ubuntu. He obtained his qualification from the Department of Philosophy, University of South Africa. Broodryk exposes Ubuntu as a world view to order society, provides an interpretation of Ubuuntu the way he was taught Ubuntu by African thinkers, politicians and ordinary members of communities in Africa. Broodryk believes that if South Africa has something to offer the global society, it is indeed the thinking and life lessons of Ubuntu. This book is essential reading material for people seeking alternative solutions to enjoy a happy life. It is also recommended for those with interest in African culture, anthropology , philosophy and individual and organisational counselling.
