ABSTRACT

‘TRC? Truth and Reconciliation Commission? I think I’ve heard of it. Oh well, who cares, it’s just another English piece.’ Those were the first words that came to my mind as this project on the TRC was being presented to us. In the beginning I felt as though I was being ‘forced’ to learn about South Africa’s history but what I didn’t bargain for was that at the end of the assignment, I wasn’t bored, but rather intrigued and more interested in our past than ever.
