September Amnesia – Nelson Mandela Foundation

News
Reckoning with oppressive pasts has been a line of enquiry, and an institutional mandate, for the Nelson Mandela Foundation over more than fifteen years now. The underlying premise has been that if pasts are not reckoned with by a society, then those pasts will certainly reckon with society.
This was one of the contexts to the virtual dialogue
September Amnesia, hosted by the Foundation on Monday 26 April. Facilitated by Kneo Mokgopa and framed as an intergenerational conversation, not surprisingly the question of reckoning became almost a sub-text to the discussion. Why does South Africa still not know who ordered the assassination of African National Congress representative in Paris, Dulcie September, in 1988? Why are archives related to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s investigation of her murder still not accessible to the public? Why only now is the French government considering reopening the official investigation into her murder?
