Raubenheimer: Mandela

Mandela: "He had been in jail for 27 years and we weren't sure if someone could be imprisoned for that long and not bear a grudge," Leon Raubenheimer, the CEO of Bay Street investment bank Zed Financial, says. Raubenheimer moved to Canada in 1994, the year Mandela won a landslide election , according to Huffington Post. Here are five key features of the TRC, which was undertaken shortly after Mandela was elected president and Talk to white South Africans, and many will recall how they feared the prospect of Nelson Mandela's presidency. They weren't certain how a man could resist the temptation of vengeance, particularly when it was wedded to power and its ability to corrupt. Like the more than 8,000 other expatriate South Africans living in Toronto, Raubenheimer was won over by Mandela and his capacity for grace and forgiveness. One of the achievements of Mandela's presidency was the Truth and Reconciliation Commission TRC , undertaken to give voice to the victims and the perpetrators of apartheid, a program of segregation and dehumanization that ran from 1960-1994.
