Each year on December 16 (since 1995), South Africans commemorate a courageous declaration of healing.
The day of reconciliation is celebrated to encourage unity, peace and embracing individual differences – a restoration of the brutal injustices of an apartheid system.
This year’s theme is national unity, healing and renewal.
There’s much that can be said about the legacy of our beautiful country and the current dissapointment of political power, however, the concept of reconciliation is graceful; it is also eminent to building resilience.
Reconciliation is an examination of the conscience, a deliberate act of healing the self first and foremost.
Happy December 16 South Africa. Happy Day of Reconciliation.
