Background  Southern African scholars and activists working in disability studies have argued that  ubuntu  or  unhu  is a part of their world view.    Objectives  Thinking seriously about  ubuntu,  as a shared collective humanness or social ethics, means to examine how Africans have framed a struggle for this shared humanity in terms of decolonisation and activism.    Method  Three examples of applications of  ubuntu  are given, with two mainly linked to making explicit  umaka.  Firstly,  ubuntu  is linked to making visible the invisible inequalities for a common humanity in South Africa. Secondly, it becomes correlated to the expression of environmental justice in West and East African countries.    Results  An African model of disability that encapsulates  ubuntu  is correlated to how Africans have illustrated a social ethics of a common humanity in their grassroots struggles against oppression and disablement in the 20th century.  Ubuntu  also locates disability politically within the wider environment and practices of sustainability which are now important to the post-2105 agenda, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the (UN) Sustainable Development Goals linked to climate change.    Conclusion  A different kind of political action linked to social justice seems to be evolving in line with  ubuntu . This has implications for the future of disability studies.
