Special Report Transcript Episode 32, Section 4, Time 23:50

I really find it difficult … that kind of reasoning, just to say to people, are there racial tensions, as though you expect me to put a red carrot here and say oh this is a green one. I really find it simplistic and naïve, if I may put it strongly that way. I’m not a spokesperson for the TRC, but if I may speak for myself. We are a system; the TRC is an organisational structure with systems which have developed in the process. There are quite a number of practices which we need to critically examine and begin to confront those which are not helping us to live up to the expectations of the country. Without giving the specifics, like for instance in instances where you feel that look I’m in a position, but somehow there are practices which undermine me and leave me with the feeling that is this a token position. And definitely that for me is a big issue, which I will personally work on to its finality.
