Special Report Transcript Episode 8, Section 4, Time 20:31

But what about white fears and suspicions towards the Truth and Reconciliation Commission? // They must understand that this is part of a process of nation building, or bringing two worlds that have been apart together. The white world and the black world, they must come together into one rainbow nation. // Most of the white people have never even seen the significance of our struggle in the first place, and there wouldn’t be a point for them to see eye to eye with us about the Truth Commission at the end of the day. // The Commission is there, exactly in that spirit of bringing this nation together. Not revenge, or avenging, or whatever. We’re trying to heal the wounds that have been inflicted on us by apartheid, not by whites. // If they feel that Truth Commission is a waste of time, we are here to debate that with them and convince each other. // We need to give the TRC support. Some people have said that we don’t have to take this route you know, of the TRC. But we’re saying no, instead of pursuing the opposite, the converse, things might turn out to be ugly in this country. There might not be peace. So, let the TRC be made a success, let it be supported by everybody.
