The Day of Reconciliation is an important day in South Africa, as it serves to form a bond between people of diverse backgrounds. It marks the momentous occasion when the citizens of this beautiful country decided to turn their back on the animosity and hatred of the past and instead choose to come together to create a better future. Every 16 December, the South African people unite around the Day of Reconciliation, to head towards a path of social and racial healing. This memorable day serves as reminder of the long-term mission to bring the people of our country closer together through shared values, experiences, and respect. By crossing the divide and recognizing the human shared humanity, South Africans can allow this journey of reconciliation to touch every citizen - regardless of differences in religion, ethnicity, language, or gender. The Day of Reconciliation was initially established in 1994 to reconcile the white Afrikaner and black parties that fought in the bitter South African theater of the apartheid era. It serves as an acknowledgement of the nation’s history and allows the citizens to take steps to ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated in the future. To demonstrate this commitment to reconciliation on the Day of Reconciliation, many South African communities organize various events such as marches, vigils, and sporting competitions. Many of these events are centered around the themes of unity, love, and togetherness. In addition, people of different backgrounds are encouraged to share stories, discuss their experiences, and give thanks to those who played an important role in bringing peace and harmony to our nation. Businesses can also contribute to the success of reconciliation by promoting diversity and celebrating the uniqueness of the communities they serve.
