I think Chamas are accounts. People make deposits and withdrawals . They make all sorts of deposits. 

It’s cannot be  about what they do. It’s what/who they are . It’s who they are together. 

There is a social spiritual identity to them.

They do not relegate their well being to technology. They have a skepticism on phones not ” showing one’s face” and therefore not ” saying how one really is”

Otherwise, if it was about money, they would just send money on mobile telephone. But they have to meet to ” see and feel each other.”

This is the fabric that I would not necessarily call ubuntu. I’d rather call it …fellowship.

They just don’t communicate about what they do. They communicate who they are, their being.
