SOUNDBITE Nelson Mandela: "Ordinary South Africans are determined that the more the past be known, the better to ensure that it is not repeated. They seek this not out of vengeance, but so that we can move into the future together. The choice of our nation is not whether the past should be revealed, but rather to ensure that it comes to be known in a way which promotes reconciliation and peace."
