That quote seems to be directly taken from wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28ideology%29
Ubuntu (IPA: /ùbúntú/) is a South African ethic or ideology focusing
on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word comes
from the Zulu and Xhosa languages. Ubuntu is seen as a traditional
African concept.
