ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to establish the authentic African moral perception on disability. First, this will be done by situating the argument within the Ubuntu metaphysical conceptions of what it means to be human. Second, it will be argued that through the notion of communal living of African society, people living with disability are accepted, respected and tolerated through the relational and inclusive attitudes that emanate from African moral thinking. Third, by drawing views from the first and second positions, the chapter proposes moral citizen education which institutions of higher learning have to implement and suggests moral education that propagates a sense of Ubuntu responsibility and obligation for both disabled and non-disabled as a way of moving towards mutual respect and recognition. Lastly, the chapter makes a plea for appropriating the Ubuntu moral values in contemporary ways of living.
