Ubuntu Philosophy and Lived Experience: A Case of Bakalanga People of Botswana
Abstract
This chapter is based on auto-ethnographic observations of the authors. It narrates how Ubuntu has functioned among the Bakalanga communities of Botswana using lived experiences of the authors consistent with the philosophy of Ubuntu. The chapter begins by exploring different scholars' definitions of the philosophy of Ubuntu. They unanimously define it in terms of its emphasis on the need for individuals to co-exist and support each other as members of a given community. The chapter points to the negative effect of Westernisation of Ubuntu. It therefore recommends the need for the inclusion of Ubuntu in the curriculum to ensure that it does not disappear.
