It is a process in which everyone has to play a role. Not just for us, but for our children and the generations to come to make a better new South Africa. There is a strong sense that God will make reconciliation possible through ordinary people with brains. We should think and stand together. We will need different strategies.
People have no knowledge of reconciliation.
We need someone from the TRC to explain reconciliation to us. We have seen reconciliation on television with the TRC, but here in Grabouw we have not had anything like that. The significance of the TRC lies in the fact that it is uncovering the truth in order to assist in the healing process on the one hand, and to hold perpetrators accountable for what they did, on the other hand. In its quest for truth it hopes to contribute to reconciliation. It is dealing with South Africa's past in order to shape the future.
