Ubuntu During Lockdown | This Is How S2 E9 | Ubuntu Army
Clint Mclean is an artist and the founder of Ubuntu Army, a collection of ordinary, everyday, garden variety South Africans, who offer their skills, resources and time to assist the most vulnerable members of our society to reclaim their dignity and independence. It is Ubuntu Army's belief that the support offered, and received, unites South Africans, and builds trust, community and compassion between, previously separated individuals and communities. Compassion builds community. Through this bond of sharing, of Ubuntu, we will forge true democracy, free of agenda, divisive politics and razor wire.
When lockdown hit, Clint initially thought it would be a great idea to escape into the mountains with his son to avoid the drama of lockdown and isolation but when he realised how dangerous the impact of lockdown was, he decided to stay and fight.
Clint started distributing masks to various informal settlement in KZN then soup and food parcels to vulnerable communities around Durban. Through the work of Ubuntu Army, many KZN communities managed to survive the harsh impact of lockdown.
Ubuntu Army now is on a mission of self sustainability in shacks settlements through micro urban gardening.

RAW 4x4 gifts suspension kit to Ubuntu Army member
During a visit to South Africa, Roger Lassen RAW 4x4's Managing Director came across the outreach programme Ubuntu Army. Ubuntu Army's charity work takes them to remote locations, where there are only dirt roads, some with deep ruts and donga's. RAW 4x4 saw the opportunity to help and gifted a suspension kit to Ubuntu Army member, Clint McLean. The kit, fitted on Clint’s aging Land Cruiser, is a welcomed upgrade to the vehicle as the new RAW 4x4 suspension kit has equipped him to get to far outlying communities where help is needed most. #RAW4x4 #G.U.D.Holdings #ubuntu #UbuntuArmy

Origin: Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning ‘humanity to others’. It is often described as a reminder that “I am, because you are” or “I am, because WE are”. In a philosophical sense it promotes the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity”.
History: "Ubuntu" as a political philosophy encourages mutual support, community equity and socialization. (which should not be confused with socialism) The name also differs by country, such as in Angola (gimuntu), Botswana (muthu), Burundi (ubuntu), Cameroon (bato), Congo (bantu), Congo Democratic Republic (bomoto/bantu), Kenya (utu/munto/mondo), Malawi (umunthu), Mozambique (vumuntu), Namibia (omundu), Rwanda (ubuntu), South Africa (ubuntu/botho), Tanzania (utu/obuntu/bumuntu), Uganda (obuntu), Zambia (umunthu/ubuntu) and Zimbabwe (Ubuntu, unhu or hunhu). It is also found in other Bantu countries. The are different definitions in different regions, but they all point to one thing – “an authentic individual human being is part of a larger and more significant relational, communal, societal, environmental and spiritual world.”
Destiny: The purpose and destiny of this project is to present the meaning and values of Ubuntu across all regions of Africa and around the world. By creating a Video Documentary that focuses on the Social, Ethical, Moral and Universal aspects of Ubuntu and how it can be applied in practical life situations, will allow teachers and leaders the opportunity to share these valuable lessons with their respective communities and hopefully inspire the next generation to become enthusiastic activists to bring about more peace and global progress. Let’s bring the Spirit of Ubuntu to the world!
So we invite you to participate to make this Vision become a Reality!
