No Future Without Forgiveness by Desmond Tutu
“April 27, 1994 – the day for
which we had waited all these many long years, the day for which the
struggle against apartheid had been waged, for which so many of our
people had been tear gassed,
bitten by police dogs, struck with quirts
and batons, for which many more had been detained, tortured, and
banned, for which others had
been imprisoned, sentenced to death,
for which others had gone into
exile – the day had finally dawned when we would vote, when we could vote
for the first time in a democratic election in the
land of our birth. I had waited
until I was sixty-two years old before
I could vote. Nelson Mandela was seventy-six. That was what would
happen today, April 27, 1994.”
