A non- profit community based
organization called Khulumani held a peaceful march to parliament today to
handover a memorandum demanding the payment of reparation of the victims of
gross human rights violation under apartheid that were left unpaid by the TRC .
One of the victims, Shenxiswa
Constance Mlung from KTC , Nyanga
who suffered a great deal during apartheid, shared her suffering. “We didn’t
get any compensation from the TRC . When
our houses were set alight in KTC , we
were told to go to a certain hall in Athlone where we were only given R2 as reparation
by the people who claimed to be from the TRC .
Constance Mlungu said I’m hoping
this much will yield good results so that we may be compensated as the victims
who suffered a lot during the apartheid”.
The memorandum was accepted by
Collin Dubrein, an Arial court manager at Cape Town Magistrate’s Court, on
behalf of the department of Justice and Constitutional Development.
