DAY OF RECONCILIATION AND GENERAL RECONCILIATION
The Day of Reconciliation has been created to mark the end of apartheid. The day, therefore, has been in existence since 1995. The purpose of this day was to foster unity and reconciliation across the country. The reason the date was selected is that it is significant to both African and Afrikaner cultures. The government purposefully selected a date that would be meaningful for both ethnic groups in an attempt to create racial harmony.
There is no denying that this is one of the most significant and important dates in history. It is a day whereby we remember the past history of the country. There are a number of festivities that take place on this date, as well as marching and we also recognize the contributions of veterans.
While the date is an important one in South African history, it is also a day that is honored all around the world. After all, we can all appreciate the importance of building bridges and working on healing. It is a sad fact that there are a lot of ethnic groups that feel underappreciate and discriminated against all around the world. On Day of Reconciliation, the best thing that we can do is work on healing any damage and moving forward so that we can reach a date whereby we’re not talking about the past but of the prosper and shimmering future..
