MR AARON MOKGATLE
The Truth Commission or Reconciliation Commission, my feelings stem from the witnesses that I have already come here.  My feelings towards them are as follows:  This is a Truth Commission.  Even in the churches the reverends always say speak the truth, so that God can forgive you. Therefore I come to realise that you cannot repeat this thing time and again.  Really, what these people have done is very terrible, but the truth that I have told this Commission or this Committee, stems from political connotations.  I should think they haven't released by that the truth they told this Committee and I have forgiven them, while they were explaining to me why they did what they did.  If what they committed is a sin, it is their own sin, but

according to me, I have forgiven those people, regarding the truth that they have told the Committee.  Because also me as
a person, when I pray usually, I say God, please forgive me my sins, like I forgive those who sin against me.  (Applause).
