ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the impact of reparations and reconciliation; contested and closing Memories; corporate social responsibility and Corruption, and, disability, development and the future. It begins by examining the reparations that had been made on a social level. In late 2011, a NaCSA representative explained that reparations had been given to over 22,000 people but there was an urgent need for more funding, as 8000 people had not benefited. In 2007, NaCSA set up a Reparations Taskforce that later received back-up from the INGO REDRESS to aid with the creation of a Special Fund for War Victims. Reparations were politically envisaged as aiding rebuilding, peace and reconciliation with a special victim's day commemorated on 23 March. Reconciliation supposedly lies in the moral choice that make to continue to live together even after experiences of corruption, betrayal and violence.
