Title Trying for better circumstances (Zama Zama): Exploring ubuntu amongst marginalised women in an informal settlement
 
Creator Kruidenier, Retha
 
Subject Practical Theology ubuntu, women, narrative research, postfoundational practical theology
Description This article explores possible experiences of ubuntu in the Zama Zama informal settlement. Postfoundational practical theology and the narrative approach function as paradigm and methodology. Themes and/or discourses like poverty, violence, xenophobia and the role of the local church were identified, but ubuntu is not always visible as a lived reality amongst the members of the community. The church is an exception. Women play a leading role in the congregation and it is in the church where ubuntu values are visible and experienced.
