"In a nutshell, modern ideas of leadership in organisations and in politics tend to lack the component of humanness contained in Ubuntu. I content that there is a leadership imperative that compels adherence to sound ethics, and that Ubuntu has much to contribute to our understanding of what it is that makes a good leader"

Reuel Khoza News Room

“One of the strengths of the philosophy of African leadership is its ability to manage paradoxes. This was one of the key success factors in negotiating a peaceful transformation in South Africa. It involved the ability to talk with ‘the enemy’ and understand the need to compromise and strike win/win solutions”

“A leader is not above, or below the followers, but is one with them and leads from within occasionally boldly stepping ahead in response to a beckoning compelling vision, a sense of destiny.”

Reuel Khoza Speeches

“In traditional African society, truth-telling to the chief was the job of the royal vituperator. The African model of village governance thus institutionalised the role of an independent reviewer.”

“Humanness is the quality of being human, considering the whole of humankind as a group. Within Ubuntu, it sums up the comprehensive relationship captured in the phrase “a person is a person through other people”.”
