MAHARAJ: DEBATE ON THE TRC, PARLIAMENT
While many countries in the world have taken the path of a truth and reconciliation commission, we have taken the process the furthest both in content and powers of the TRC as well as the way in which we plan to handle the report by making it a subject of debate in our parliament and in our society. We need to use the report of the Commission as a platform from which we find ways to encourage an ongoing process of discovering the truth about our past. Why should I share responsibility?" And ...

The Inter-Ministerial Committee on AIDS (IMC) which is headed by Deputy President Thabo Mbeki, and established to oversee the implementation of a South African response to the AIDS epidemic, finds it ironic that South Africans, who have a rich history of fighting against any violation of human rights should today be violating others' rights.
