The country will, this week, mark Reconciliation Day, on the 16th of December, a commemorative day rooted in our painful and conflict-scarred past, but now invested with the nation's hopes for unity and healing.

As the country continues to grapple with inequality, political polarisation, and unresolved historical wounds, the question of what the actual content of our reconciliation project is, remains as relevant and urgent as ever.

So, let's examine whether the ideals of nation‑building still hold sway in a society facing new and old divisions.

We're joined by veteran journalist and thought leader Mathata Tsedu and Advocate Sipho Mantula, Pan-African researcher, human rights lawyer, and media analyst, to unpack the state of reconciliation in 2025.

Before we get into the conversation, let us listen to what some of the SA citizens had to say about Reconcilliation day.
