An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run, they all took each others’ hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run together when one person could have had all the fruits for himself, they said: “Ubuntu! How can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?” (The original source has not been found) ‘Ubuntu’ in the Xhosa language means: “i am because we are”. The Ubuntu logo is inspired by an African mandala. It depicts a sun as the outer circle, rendered in an Indigenous haida art style representing life giving abundance/environment/world, encompassing a circle of people (prong shapes) standing in conjoined solidarity, with a common heart at the center.
