SA Reconciliation Barometer 2014: The struggle against Apartheid amnesia

Every year the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation brings out its Reconciliation Barometer, and often its findings make for uncomfortable reading.

Their findings show a decreasing desire for a united South African identity, while racial identity assumes a growing importance. Perhaps most worryingly, their results suggest that when it comes to Apartheid, there's a problem with remembering. By REBECCA DAVIS.
