My matric class of 2019 had real love for each other. Not the kind where you'd have to be with one another all the time, but the kind where you know someone in the grade will always be there for you regardless. We are always ready to help each other, defend each other and laugh with each other. People often struggle to accurately define the word ubuntu, what it means, so people come up with meanings for themselves, define the word as what it means to them. To me, the love and genuine care in my matric class of 2019 is my definition of ubuntu.
