Answers
The Day of Reconciliation was inaugurated in 1994 as a method to heal the estrangement among the people of South Africa and bring the agreement to a country still hurting from decades of inequality.
After the first common elections in 1994, December 16 extended to form part of the antiquity of post-apartheid South Africa. On 16 December 1995, the title was transformed once more and was observed as a public celebration recognized as the Day of Reconciliation. The establishment of December 16 as a public holiday was an effort to strike a stability among a divided past and strengthening national unity and conciliation in a new political administration.
For African people, the day has been meaningful as one of both nonviolent demonstrations against national injustice and of the establishing of the more aggressive Umkhonto we Sizwe by the African National Congress (ANC) on 16 December 1961.
Nelson Mandela and South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission determined a day that was unique to both ethnic organizations in the nation in order to work on repairing the destruction done by Apartheid.
