We urgently need to complement our 1994 political settlement with an emotional settlement. Our failure to tackle the burden of our ugly past is threatening to hold our future hostage.
No society can afford to lose multiple generations of young people to a failed education system as we have done since 1976. We need to hold open, deep, healing conversations to enable a process of emotional settlement. The unacknowledged toxicity of the burden of our past is undermining our ability to build trusting relationships.
We need to acknowledge the privileges that white people continue to enjoy, which were generated by a colour-coded governance system. We also need to acknowledge the pain of impoverishment on the majority of the population by the same system.
