4. African Concept of Ubuntu "I am what I am because of you," Ubuntu says. The entire theme is around humans or humanity (Mandela 1994, Carson 1998). These stories explain scientific events, teach morality, give African people a feeling of self-identity, and are both amusing and educational. Because they feature an animal trickster with human habits, beliefs, and weaknesses, animal trickster stories are the most popular among folktales. Moral ideals are instilled in the people of the tribe or community through these stories (Ngugi wa Thiong'o 1982, Mandela 2002).

5. Characteristics of African Storytelling In most traditional African civilizations, African Storytelling is done both formally and informally as an interactive oral performance. Basic instruction in a particular culture's oral arts and talents is a vital aspect of children's traditional indigenous education on their route to initiation into full humanness (Achebe 1958, Ngugi wa Thiong'o 1965, Sheppard 2009). After years of communal-traditional training, most accomplished storytellers in many of these African cultures are respected community members who have mastered many complex verbal use of proverbs and parables, musical, and memory skills (Achebe 1958, Mungoshi 1975, Chavunduka 1988, Chinyowa 2000, Vambe 2001).
