From our perspective a government official who helps his family while being in the role of being a burocrat is corrupt. From the African practice his actions are commandable because he's practicing ubuntu.

The amount of that kind of interdependence in Western society isn't zero but it's a lot less than it's in Africa. Western society needs the prime loyality of a burocrat to be to the state. It needs the prime loyality of an employee in his role as employee to his company.
