I understand the logo is meant to represent the Zulu philosophy of Ubuntu, but is the logo an African symbol??

I think, many years ago, the origional logo represents a circle of friends.
It is made up of a custom designed font (wordmark), carefully spaced with a re-drawn ‘Circle of Friends’ placed within a roundel.

But no, it is not an African logo.
