As the chairman of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Archbishop Desmond Tutu introduced the forgiveness project which seeks to enlighten all on the importance of peace across the nations of the world.
The TRC was created by Nelson Mandela’s Government of National Unity in 1995 to help South Africans come to terms with their extremely troubled past. It was established to investigate the violations that took place between 1960 and 1994, to provide support and reparation to victims and their families, and to compile a full and objective record of the effects of apartheid on South African society.
