Thirty years ago, South Africa witnessed the first hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The TRC was established in 1996 to promote reconciliation and uncover the truth about severe human rights violations that took place under the apartheid regime from March 1960 to May 1994.
During the apartheid era, the National Party regime committed atrocities, which included murder, torture and enforced disappearances. However, that did not deter the oppressed people from fighting for their freedom.
