Special Report Transcript Episode 80, Section 8, Time 58:05

At the hearings of the TRC over the past year many horrid details emerged. We cannot fail to have been moved by the remorse of some perpetrators and the preparedness of victims to forgive. We cannot fail to have been astounded by their very modest appeals for their dignity to be restored, but this should not be surprising, for their suffering was not for pecuniary gain but for the great prize of freedom and a better life for all. The government has heard the appeals for urgent reparations and we shall be ready to provide modest assistance when the details had been forwarded.

Notes: President Nelson Mandela
