!["To you and all the Commissioners and staff of the TRC [Truth and
Reconciliation Commission] we say, on behalf of the nation: Thank you for
the work you have done so far! If the pain has often been unbearable and
the revelations shocking to all of us, it is because they indeed bring us the
beginnings of a common understanding of what happened and a steady
restoration of the nation's humanity. The TRC... was established by an Act of
Parliament with overwhelming support. It is composed of individuals from
all backgrounds and persuasions. It has put the spotlight on all of us... .
[W]e are confident that it has contributed to the work in progress of laying the
foundation of the edifice of reconciliation.... Reconciliation requires that we
work together to defend our democracy and the humanity proclaimed by our
Constitution.... The wounds of the period of repression and resistance are too
deep to have been healed by the TRC alone, however well it has encouraged us
along that path. Consequently, the Report that today becomes the property of
our nation should be a call to all of us to celebrate and to strengthen what we
have done as a nation as we leave our terrible past behind us forever.
Let us celebrate our rich diversity as a people, the knowledge that when
the TRC in its wisdom apportions blame, it points at previous state structures;
political organisations [organizations]; at institutions and individuals, but never
at any community. Nor can any individual so identified claim that their brutal
deeds were the result of some character inherent in any community or language
group... Above all, we should remember that it was when South Africans of
all backgrounds came together for the good of all that we confounded the
prophets of doom by bringing an end to this terrible period of our history."
