ISBN 13 Digit: 978-0-86486-707-0 Editor: Layout and Design: Fresh Identity Cover photograph: Cover design: Fresh Identity Proofreader: Ingrid Brink Printed and bound in the Republic of South Africa by xxxxx Foreword The world remains fascinated by the South African political transition, of which the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was an integral part. For nations wracked by internal division and conflict, the South African case is particularly intriguing given that the country averted a predicted bloodbath, despite being divided by 300 years of colonialism and nearly 50 years of statutory apartheid. In South Africa, the TRC process continues to be evaluated – both critically and with a view to augmenting the process of national reconciliation and nation building. In turn, the documentation produced by the Commission is being closely scrutinised, both for how it might add to the truth discovered by the TRC and as a way of understanding how and how well the Commission’s recommendations have been implemented in the 10 years since its first hearings in 1996. This publication forms part of a multi-pronged initiative by the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation to make TRC materials available to various sectors of society. This volume, designed and edited by Erik Doxtader and Philippe-Joseph Salazar, is an important contribution to this endeavour. It is a companion to the volume entitled South African Truth and Reconciliation in South Africa – Ten Years On. The documents also augment an interactive DVD containing selected material from the TRC that is being produced for use in the nation’s schools. This volume provides easy access to documents that reveal some of the historical antecedents and roots of the Commission, along with texts that detail key elements and moments of TRC’s work and which address responses by government and the public sector to the Commission’s efforts. The Institute is extremely grateful to the editors for the thoughtful and meticulous manner in which they have collected and edited this work. The volume is a resource for those wishing to understand the TRC and enter into the debate over the Commission’s continuing role in the ongoing South African transition. We are grateful to the South African National Archive for their permission to republish the majority of documents in this volume. With thanks, we also acknowledge those who facilitated the inclusion of several other texts, including those in the public domain. We further express our sincere appreciation to the Consulate General of Austria in Cape Town for their generous support in making this volume possible.

Solomons nature of the discourses on reconciliation is explored. It provides a conceptual analysis of how Affiliation: reconciliation is understood in the Kairos Document (1985). Regarded as an outstanding 1Department of Religion and example of a theological response to the problem of apartheid, what is often overlooked is the Theology, Faculty of Arts, tension implicit in its approach which, in turn, has serious implications for how matters of University of the Western social justice are understood and acted upon. Here, the need for political, economic and Cape, Cape Town, South Africa cultural liberation is emphasised. It is assumed that social justice can only follow upon liberation, and that reconciliation is only possible on the basis of following justice.

  • Cradock Four
    Saif Pardawala 12/7/2012 TRC Cradock Four Amnesty Hearings Abstract: The Amnesty Hearing of the Truth and Reconciliation show the connection between the South African Apartheid state and the mysterious disappearances of four Cradock political activists. The testimonies of members of the security police highlight the lengths the apartheid state was willing to go to suppress opposition. The fall of Apartheid and the numerous examples of state mandated human rights abuses against its opponents raised a number of critical questions for South Africans at the time. Among the many issues to be addressed, was the need to create an institution for the restoration of the justice that had been denied to the many victims of apartheid’s crimes. Much like the numerous truth commissions established in Eastern Europe and Latin America after the formation of democracy in those regions, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was founded with the aims of establishing a restorative, rather than punitive justice. The goal of the TRC was not to prosecute and impose punishment on the perpetrators of the state’s suppression of its opposition, but rather to bring closure to the many victims and their families in the form of full disclosure of the truth. The amnesty hearings undertaken by the TRC represent these aims, by offering full amnesty to those who came forward and confessed their crimes. In the case of Johan van Zyl, Eric Taylor, Gerhardus Lotz, Nicholas van Rensburg, Harold Snyman and Hermanus du Plessis; the amnesty hearings offer more than just a testimony of their crimes. The amnesty hearings of the murderers of a group of anti-apartheid activists known as the Cradock Four show the extent of violence the apartheid state was willing to use on its own citizens to quiet any opposition and maintain its authority.

Secretary Ruth Samuels At the same time we are saddened by the dismay, nay anger, with which his ap­ pointment has been greeted by some business leaders, by the government and by SATV which gave derisory coverage to his enthronement. It is worth noting in this regard that TV viewers in Australia were regaled with full coverage of the event; probably South African Anglicans saw less on TV of their own Archbishop than did Christians in most of the Western world. Why then the rancour from business and government? One possibility is that he is black, filling a post held hitherto only by whites. We should not forget that iust a OCTOBER 1986 century ago the Anglican Church was the official church of the Cape Colony (much i like the Church of England whose bishops are still appointed by Margaret Thatcher) until this legislation was removed from the statute books in the 1870s. Yet this alone OUTLOOK ON THE MONTH 106 fails to explain the brouhaha. The Methodist Church, the Congregational Church, the Bantu Presbyterian Church and other churches had black leaders years ago.

  • 3. Cradock Four Issued Notice of Motion And
    91 91 hereto marked "LC33". In this document the Deputy Director of Community Communications made certain recommendations which were then sent for approval to senior officials in the Education and Training Department. 207 This memo deals with the reappointment of Goniwe. It does not disclose who the author was, but it was sent in the name of the Deputy Director of Community Communications of the Department of Education and Training to the Department of Education Personnel Service. Curiously at paragraph 5.2 it says, "we as an education department are not a political instrumenf'. This memorandum disclosed the following: 207 .1 Goniwe's reappointment was discussed at a GBS meeting chaired by Adriaan Vlok on 6 June 1985. An appointment was recommended on 13 June 1985. The person who recommended this re-appointment is not disclosed. An assurance was given to the Cradock community that Goniwe would be re-appointed and Goniwe expressed an interest in being reappointed. 207 .2 The problem statement in this note was that Goniwe was a full-time Rural Organiser for the UDF and was able to devote his attention to political activities. It was necessary to re-channel his energy into activities which will not allow him to exercise his political activities on a large scale. 207.3 The proposed solution was to reappoint him as a teacher at a school that was in a chaotic condition which will force him to devote all his time to the school and his work. The benefit, it was recorded, would be that 92 92 the community would see his reappointment as a correction of a previous injustice of him being requested to transfer to Graaff Reinet.

    GRAHAMSTOWN Jan 5 Sapa THREE OF DE KOCK'S CO-ACCUSED TO CHALLENGE TRC DECISION Three former security branch policemen plan to challenge the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's decision to refuse them and seven of their former colleagues, including Eugene de Kock, amnesty for the 1989 murder of four policemen. De Kock, Daniel Snyman, Nicholaas Janse Van Rensburg, Gerhardus Lotz, Jacobus Kok, Wybrand Du Toit, Nicolaas Vermeulen, Marthinus Ras and Gideon Nieuwoudt admitted responsibility for the massive car bomb which claimed the lives of Warrant Officer Mbalala Mgoduka, Sergeant Amos Faku, Sergeant Desmond Mpipa and an Askari named Xolile Shepherd Sekati. The four men died when a bomb hidden in the police car they were travelling in was detonated in a deserted area in Motherwell, Port Elizabeth, late at night in December 1989. Lawyer for Nieuwoudt, Lotz and Van Rensburg, Francois van der Merwe said he would shortly give notice to the TRC of their intention to take on review the decision to refuse the nine men amnesty. He said the judgment would be taken on review in its entirety, and if it was overturned by the court, the TRC would once again have to apply its mind to the matter in respect of all nine applicants. The applicants had been "unfairly treated", he said and the judges had failed to properly apply their mind to the matter. The amnesty decision was split, with Acting Judge Denzil Potgieter and Judge Bernard Ngoepe finding in the majority decision that the nine men did not qualify for amnesty as the act was not associated with a political objective and was not directed against members of the ANC or other liberation movements.

Its importance stems from the sincere expression of Palestinian Christian concerns for their people and their view of the moment of history they are living through. It is deeply committed to Jesus’ way of love and nonviolence even in the face of entrenched injustice. It seeks to be prophetic in addressing things as they are, without equivocation.
