For me it is not the fact that things may be stollen and that we have technology that is highly lucrative on the black market’s list. I mostly fear the trauma resulting from a theft event. When my husband and I chased a thief at 3am one morning, we succeeded in chasing him away but I was left with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I realized that although I screamed like a banshee, no neighbor came out to support us or ensure we were okay. Yet they gawked at us from behind dark windows through slitted curtains.

Ubuntu is a Nguni Bantu term meaning “humanity”. It is sometimes translated as “I am because we are or “humanity towards others”
