Mbeki calls for greater steps towards reconciliation

President Thabo Mbeki says South Africans of different races have not done enough to overcome the divisions of the past. Speaking at Reconciliation Day celebrations in Pretoria on Friday, Mbeki says despite the work of parliament to abolish apartheid laws, there has not been the same level of initiative by the people to create a non-racial and non-sexist society. He went on to say that South Africans need to question whether enough has been done to overcome the stereotypes that were entrenched by the racist policies of the past.
