Ideologically(describing how ubuntu was criticized for functioning): Functioning in a way that serves a particular set of beliefs or power interests, often while hiding the real reasons behind a problem or decision.
Material inequalities(as a social and economic concept): Real, concrete differences in wealth, resources, and economic power between people or groups—as opposed to just differences in ideas or beliefs.
Restorative processes(as an approach to justice): Methods focused on healing relationships and communities (like truth-telling or public acknowledgment) rather than punishment; the idea is to restore what was broken.
TRC (Truth and Reconciliation Commission)(as a historical institution): A South African institution created after apartheid ended that allowed victims and perpetrators of human rights abuses to testify publicly; the idea was that truth-telling and acknowledgment could help heal society instead of just punishing people.
