Ubuntu or ''I am becasue we are'' is a Southern African Bantu languages term encompassing a philosophy of interconnectedness of individuals within communities and wider global networks, reflecting a belief that a person's humanity is affirmed through their relationships with others and contributions made to the community. Aptly, Sibu as a Swazi-South African speaks several Bantu languages including Sotho and Zulu.
