Abstract
Half way through its term, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has achieved much given its complex task. The TRC's uniquely public and democratic nature accounts for some strengths but also many weaknesses. Dealings with victims have been successful. But if substantial numbers of perpetrators, particularly prominent security and ANC figures, do not apply for amnesty, the TRC will have failed in one of its main objectives.
