Chronicle of the Truth Commission by Pieter Meiring
Description: For two-and-a-half years South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission was on everybody's lips. Newspapers and radio programs reported daily on the work of the Commission, and the faces of victims and offenders alike appeared on millions of television screens. In Chronicle of the Truth Commission, Pieter Meiring sheds light on the work of the Truth Commission: the stories and testimonies of victims, the applications for amnesty by offenders guilty of violating human rights, the necessary confrontations with the past, and the need for forgiveness and reconciliation. Meiring presents the course of the Truth Commission as a symbolic quest, an epic journey back into the past and onwards to the new future, a great trek that would leave not a single South African unaffected.
Meiring, Piet: - Die Waarheids-en Versoeningskommissie moes alle segmente van die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing, met inagneming van geslag en ras, sowel as geografiese, politieke, kulturele, taal en ander faktore verteenwoordig. Piet Meiring, bekende teoloog en professor aan die Universiteit van Pretoria, het in die WVK gedien om die denke, perspektiewe en bekommernisse van veral die Afrikaanse gemeenskap te verwoord. Hy is bekend vir sy skerp teologiese insig en ekumeniese belangstelling, maar ook vir sy innige spiritualiteit, warm menslikheid en ywer vir geregtigheid, vryheid en versoening.
