Abstract

This article explains that the ethic of Ukama held by the Shona people of Zimbabwe implies an ethical concern for the well-being of future generations because of the primacy it gives to kinship/relatedness and the immortality of values. This article expresses the concern that a genuine existence is one that is based on solidarity with others in human society at present, the past and the future.
