“Land holds memory - physical and spiritual. The idea of bloody lands and pungency of old blood. Forced removals meant people were never given the chance to perform rituals that connect them to the land. So they move about disconnected and perhaps broken.” - Nthabiseng Motsemme
“The TRC assumes that the world was only knowable through words & this the basis for the beginnings a process of healing of S.A’s violent past would be organized through acts of testimony. What happens when those who have been denied the occasion to their stories & whose bodies &
cultures have been systematically isolated & dehumanized, discover that there are things that remain unspeakable?...pain, suffering, humiliation and joy do not necessarily only find their expression through verbal language but a number of other representations such as song,dance&
I argue, even silence... silence can be as misleading as words. Silence can after all become a survival strategy’s an uncaring world for those whose agency had been systematically undermined such as the case of apartheid.” - Dr. Nthabiseng Motsemme
