Political parties have delivered sharply differing messages as South Africa marks Reconciliation Day.
While some parties view the day as vital for unity and nation-building, others rejected the commemoration outright, arguing that reconciliation is impossible without justice and economic redress .
Parties including the United Democratic Movement UDM, Build One South Africa, Rise Mzansi and the Pan Africanist Congress PAC, say reconciliation must be understood as an ongoing process that requires honesty, dignity and the active participation of all South Africans.
