REGISTER OF RECONCILIATION Everyone will soon have a chance to express their feelings to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, even those too shy to appear before the commission itself. The commission has come up with a “register of reconciliation” which will be opened at the TRC’s regional offices next Monday, giving everyone an opportunity to express their sorrow about the country’s past and to show their committment to the future.

DP TO JOIN W CAPE CABINET THE Democratic Party’s federal executive on Wednesday decided the party should participate in the Western Cape provincial cabinet, subject to certain outstanding matters being satisfactorily negotiated with the province’s National Party premier Hernus Kriel, DP Western Cape leader Hennie Bester said. Bester said the DP’s bottom line in considering Kriel’s offer is the maintenance of its institutional independence and freedom to criticise. He added that the move is supported by party leader Tony Leon.
