Has the Spirit of Ubuntu Died With Urbanisation?

With the rise of urbanisation in Namibia, can we say that ubuntu/uunu womnu has died or is it safe to say that it is a concept that only exists in the less fortunate sections of society, such as the “ghetto”?

Is it safe to say that we all want to move out of the ghetto and leave its teachings behind?

The display of high walls, electric fences and burglar bars in suburbia tell a story of isolation.
