Okay Moe - Here we go mate:
Opening titles - Soupy introductory music.
Interviewer:
Many people regard you as a personification of Ubuntu. What
do you describe Ubuntu to be?
Mr Mandela:
In the old days when we were young, a traveller through a
country would stop at a village, and he didn't have to ask
for food or for water. Once he stops the people give him
food; entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu ... but
it has various aspects.
Scroll up screen cut into video footage:
Respect
Helpfulness
Sharing
Community
Caring
Trust
Unselfishness
One word can mean so much. This is the spirit of Ubuntu.
Mr Mandela:
Ubuntu does
not mean that people should not
address themselves. The question therefore is, are you
going to do so in order to enable the community around you,
and enable it to improve? These are the important things in
life. And if one can do that, you have done something very
important which will be appreciated.
Soupy closing music.
Perhaps I didn't 'sell' it very well but it works for me.
