0:13 - 0:15it is a way of life
-
0:15 - 0:18it underpins the concept of
an open society -
0:18 - 0:20[Journalist] Many people regard you as a
-
0:20 - 0:23personification of ubuntu.
-
0:23 - 0:25What you understand ubuntu to be?
-
0:25 - 0:30[Mandela] In the old days when we were young
-
0:30 - 0:35a traveller through a country
-
0:35 - 0:39would stop at a village
-
0:39 - 0:44and he didn't have to ask for food or for water.
-
0:44 - 0:49Once he stops the people give him food
-
0:49 - 0:53and attend him, that is one aspect of ubuntu.
-
0:53 - 0:57But you'd have to learn various aspects.
