Witness statement at the re-enacting of the TRC Faith Communities' Hearings

Abstract

I had the privilege, as a non-South African, to be invited to be part of this revisit of the TRC [Truth and Reconciliation Commission] Faith Communities' Hearings and to present some reflections on the contribution of faith communities to reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa. I accepted the invitation realising that ‘external eyes’ may bring a new perspective, but also in the humble awareness that it may be premature to speak out on a situation that one does not fully understand. My reflection centres on seven points.
