Tutu slams the amount paid to apartheid victims

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has described as “incredibly un-generous”, the amount of reparation paid to victims of apartheid atrocities by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Tutu says the TRC had recommended that compensation of 100-thousand rands be paid to victims of the apartheid regime, but government has now settled on a lower figure of 30-thousand rands. Tutu says victims of apartheid deserve better. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission held its first public hearing in the East London City Hall exactly ten years ago.
