A Web site established by Bishop Desmond Tutu's Truth & Reconciliation
Commission <www.truth.org.za> is accepting confessions and
apologies from white South Africans. An example: "On behalf of my family I
wish to apologize to our servants for ill-treating them, especially to the
family of the woman known by me as 'Liesbet' who worked for us many years
when we were living in the Free State. She came from Lesotho and lived in a
little hut outside our own property. To this day my parents cannot tell me
what happened to her when my father was transferred. I know that they would
also wish to apologize for not treating her properly."
