Just the man the new Govt needs to embrace, for all his efforts towards TRUE reconciliation between communities in South Africa after the evil apartheid ended in 1990. The previous regime did not appear to show serious intent in this all-important aspect for SL.

Give him some Samaposha..

Usual diaspora mania - typical weerawansa tactics.

The international network of UN, US, UK, India wants to ensure that they hang on this word reconciliation as they have no other hold.

SL never followed Apartheid. All the minorities benefited well in free education and jobs.

South Africa is facing much corruption in the country. Therefore, it does not have moral authority.

Without showing your ignorance do some home-work and study the credibility of these people before commenting. If not evenif Lord Buddha or Jesus come back for peace building you would say the same pathetic things.

BRIEF WOULD DO NICELY.

Sikuru Saturday, 22 August 2015 06:33 PM

This has nothing to do with diaspora and reconciliation is needed

Sikuru Saturday, 22 August 2015 06:35 PM

MR regime ignored reconciliation but if RW wants reconciliation they need to look at other examples not SA

Mark Saturday, 22 August 2015 01:34 PM

All these people are emissaries of the diaspora trying to keep the "reconciliation" alive
