Abstract

The author who served on the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) invites the reader to listen to the voices of a number of Muslim leaders who accepted an invitation to testify at the TRC’s Faith Community Hearing (East London, 17-19 Nov 1997). The leaders elaborated on three distinct experiences: the experience of Muslim victims of apartheid, the experience of those who actively opposed apartheid, as well as the experience of Muslims who collaborated with the apartheid regime. The article concludes with a strong plea for understanding and dialogue between Christians and Muslims in South Africa, in the era of truth and reconciliation.
