SOUTH Africa will not have true reconciliation as long as the majority continues to live in poverty while the minority exists in comfort.
This was what President Cyril Ramaphosa said yesterday during his Day of Reconciliation address, delivered virtually from Cape Town.
Ramaphosa said since South Africa became democratic 26 years ago, there’d been progress in overcoming divisions caused by apartheid.
“Much as we continue to actively work to overcome divisions in society, deep and persistent challenges remain,” he said.
