Date: 19 August, 1996

The major political parties began their submission to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). In a forty-three-page document the Freedom Front (FF) leader, General Constand Viljoen, emphasised the need for reconciliation and nation building. The Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) acknowledged that its armed wing, Azanian People's Liberation Army (APLA), targeted White civilians. It took responsibility for this, but made no effort to apologise.
