PTR Excursion 2018: South Africa

Reflecting on the Legacy of Apartheid

Twenty years ago, South Africa led the world into a new way of doing conflict resolution on a societal scale by implementing a process of truth telling and reconciliation. Twenty years later the first generation post-Apartheid are now adults, and they are reflecting on the legacy of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Once again, South Africa is leading the world in how to deal with the legacy of a project that did a lot of good, but also left much undone.
