South African donates TV & Video to NRC

South Africa on Monday donated a 74-cm television set and a video deck estimated at five million cedis to the National Reconciliation Commission (NRC) in Accra.

Dr Mgang M. Phologane, South Africa High Commissioner, said the donation is in appreciation of good relations between Cape Town and Accra. He noted that South Africa had gone through the process of reconciliation and expressed the hope that Ghana would succeed in her efforts.

Mr Justice Kweku Etru Amua-Sekyi, Chairman of NRC, said South Africa is a shining example for all in ensuring total reconciliation for the entire nation. "Though South African has different people with diverging views, different religions and philosophies, it has reconciled. We need to avoid a situation that would lead to strife."

Mr Amua-Sekyi commended South Africa for its gesture and said Ghana would continue to seek some guidelines on the reconciliation process from that country
