RE: Submission to 'Register of Reconciliation' and donation to President'sFund for reparations to assist victims of gross violations of human rights.
I can never express the incredible admiration, awe and appreciation I have for President Nelson Mandela,Bishop Tutu, the ANC, TRC, thousands of freedom fighters and the millions of forgiving, compassionate people of South Africa, who could rise above the inhumane, torturous depravity that apartheid inflictedupon them, and forgive a people so unforgiving and unrepenting of our evil.However, admiration and appreciation is not enough. As a white South African I have benefited from theravages of apartheid, since before I was even born.In order for me to truly become a member of the New South Africa, to make my contribution to our newcountry as an equal member, working for justice and equity, I have to make certain admissions of guilt, Ihave to take responsibility for the awful crimes that were committed in my name - for my benefit,irrespective of whether I knew or asked for them to be committed - and I have to make reparations, andappeal to other white South Africans to do the same.In order to make reparations I have to put aside the denial of reality, so characteristic of a parasitic class of  people who have never experienced life under the oppressive policies of apartheid but who lived off thatoppression.I have to acknowledge: - the millions of South Africans and Africans who were openly tortured; - the sheer  brutality in the act of forcibly transferring our country's resources and stealing the labour to benefit me; -the millions of human beings severed from language and culture, from home and family, husband fromwife, mother from child to produce the wealth for us, so that OUR families could rest on a foundation of seemingly unassailable security.Reparations acknowledges African culture so rich, so vibrant, so deep in its humanity and beauty - soirrepressible that the oppressor was never capable of beating it out of the people and ended up trying tosteal it, claiming it as part of the loot.Reparations acknowledges the townships, the prisons, the police, the educational institutions, the joblessness, the poverty and the enforced oppression and humiliation designed to break the spirit and crush
