      Ubuntu Life lessons from Africa

 

   Ubuntu life coping skills

 

     Oeboentoe sę Afrika sę

 

    
      Ubuntu - Life lessons from Africa reveals secrets that regulated African life since 1500 years before the discovery of the Biblical Ten Commandments. In fact, it is alleged that the Ten Commandments were actually based on these ancient African life style secrets!  Ubuntu Life Coping Skills from Africa exposes the magical ancient uBuntu life skills to cope with everyday problems of life. The author also explains the ONPO (Obstacles Negatives Positives Outcomes)-analysis as a method of self-counselling. Oeboentoe is an Afrikaans book highlighting the wrong doings of the apartheid system and how those actions were in contradiction with uBuntu values and norms.
     

 

                    
      Understanding South Africa

 

   Ubuntu Management Philosophy

 

   Africa is best

 

    
      Understanding South Africa –the uBuntu way of living deals with uninhibited happiness and stress-less living as found in traditional Africa over centuries. The globe is invited to learn from Africa regarding the creation of human, caring and sharing societies for compassionate living. Ubuntu Management Philosophy has already been implemented with stunning success by various role players in both the private and public sectors in South Africa. By applying this  philosophy in practical terms, improved staff performance and higher productivity are obtained. Africa is best - the uBuntu magic identifies differences of African life and life of other cultures. The author proposes new thinking of African life and the exportation of uBuntu humanness into the globe.
