TRC in South Africa

At times before, during, and after South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), there were many who felt that the TRC’s goal and means of achieving that goal was a mistake. On the other hand, many have praised the TRC’s process for helping to move forward from the damage done by apartheid. What do you think? Discuss whether or not you think that the TRC is something that has brought progress to post-apartheid South Africa. In order to assist you in making this decision you might want to consider that South Africa hosted the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Look at some of the criteria required to host this important sporting event. Did the country have these requirements in place during apartheid? In other words, did having the T.R.C. assist in South Africa making sufficient progress to be granted the rights to host such a prestigious event? You should address what the TRC defined as progess and whether or not its stated goal was an appropriate use of the word. In your response, you are also encouraged to use a specific individual or incident and its treatment by the TRC as evidence in support of your broader conclusion about the commission. You are encouraged to do reseach to help you with this response.
