We have seen much truth and many deeply touching scenes of reconciliation between victims, survivors and perpetrators the last 22 months. But as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission winds up its work we now have to look to the future and ask what is to become of reconciliation. How do we take this process further? Perhaps we should first ask why are we talking about reconciliation. Doesn’t the re the ‘r’ ‘e’ in reconciliation implies that we bring people together who were once at peace?

Tonight we introduce you to the concept of conciliation.
