It is also a realisation that many of the consequences of the Apartheid system are still among us and have not been resolved. Many of these old ghosts which he encountered during his career have to be revisited and confronted.The author takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the internal political struggles that eventually led to the first fully democratic election in South Africa in 1994 and beyond. His role as a Commissioner of the SA Human Rights Commission since retiring as a politician has exposed him to further realities of the legacy of Apartheid.It is the story of a courageous politician and a dedicated South African set on a course to make a positive contribution to the future of the country." --- $c Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 1.
