    00.02.51 WANT GOVERNMENT TO PUBLICLY DEBATE ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING ABOUT MAKING REPARATION TO PEOPLE WHO WERE VICTIMS OF GROSS VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS
    00.03.07 GOVERNMENT HAS GRANTED SOME URGENT INTERIM REPARATIONS TO 8000 PEOPLE - R3500.00 EACH - ACT SAYS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO BE GRANTED A LONG TERM PROCESS INCLUDES FINANCIAL COMPENSATION, SYMBOLIC MECHANISMS LIKE HEADSTONES & BETTER ACCESS TO SERVICE
