SEEKING JUSTICE IN AFRICA
The art exhibition by Madelaine Georgette, A Just Society, opens at Origins Centre
tomorrow and will be on display until September 29. The exhibition is a visual
exploration of the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
In keeping with the theme, we will host a lecture on September 2 entitled ‘From
Nuremberg to Kigali – seeking justice in Africa’ by Tali Nates, director of the
Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre.
The list of human rights horrors on our continent goes on and on... Rwanda, Darfur,
Sudan; names like Omar Al-Bashir and Liberia’s Charles Taylor. The lecture will explore
different models of justice used in the wake of atrocities and genocide, it will share
testimonies and stories of survivors and perpetrators, and examine the International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the Gacaca courts which ended recently in June.
Nates has lectured internationally on genocide prevention, reconciliation and human
rights. Born to a family of holocaust survivors, her father and uncle were saved by
Oskar Schindler.
