The four healing steps
CONFESSION:
Stating the truth; acknowledgement of the unjust or hurtful actions of myself or my people group toward other persons or categories of persons. (This is often seen as our main theme but this is simply because it is the place to begin....)
REPENTANCE:
Turning from unloving to loving actions.
RECONCILIATION:
Expressing and receiving forgiveness, and pursuing intimate fellowship with previous enemies.
RESTITUTION:
Attempting to restore that which has been damaged or destroyed, and seeking justice wherever we have power to act or to influence those in authority to act.

The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission is based on the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act, No 34 of 1995.
"... a commission is a necessary exercise to enable South Africans to come to terms with their past on a morally accepted basis and to advance the cause of reconciliation."
Mr Dullah Omar, former Minister of Justice
