Instead of hatred and revenge we chose reconciliation and nation-building.

—Nelson Mandela speaking at Nobel Square, Cape Town, South Africa, December 14, 2003

Saw a number of postings about ‘true reconciliation.’

Just for the record, there is no such thing as ‘true

reconciliation.’ Reconciliation is always difficult,

messy and unpredictable. Sometimes it works, and

then it is a gift to humanity and to those involved. It

is not a legal or political process; it is, in all its frailty,

a very human process.

—Jonathan Jansen (rector of the University of the Free State), Facebook post, December 16, 2015
