I think this comment misses the point by speaking of Ubuntu in the face of the incompatible idea of capitalism. The company is not an African company in the sense that it is not owned (and thus likely not operated) by Africans. Africa is almost entirely owned by foreign entities in the most exploitative fashion. Ubuntu is a enlightening concept of fundamental good and sharing but it should not be used as a tool to allow foreign interests, who follow no such concept, to take more than they are giving back. I am really skeptical as to whether you are really an African. If you are an African I would go as far as to say your "Ubuntu mentality" is not an Ubuntu mentality at all but a neo-colonial one.
