Biography 📅 29 October 1998 📍 South Africa

Archbishop Desmond Tutu presented the TRC’s first report to Mandela. The report documented abuses by apartheid security forces and violations by liberation movements, including the ANC, and described both state and non-state actors. Its record became an important archive for public memory, while survivors and activists continued to contest the adequacy of reparations, accountability and the commission’s reconciliation framework.
