16. Documents E and G support the testimony of Helen Suzman in Document F because in document F, Helen Suzman talks about how the black man has been degraded so much and so much taken away; including the essentials of being a human being.

17. The relationship between Document H and the past history mentioned in Nelson Mandela’s inaugural address in document I, because in Nelson Mandela’s speech, it says “We dedicate this day to all the heroes and heroines in this country and the rest of the world who sacrifices in many ways and surrendered their lives so that we could be free”- and in H, it is a picture of a young boy giving the ANC salute near the graves of four assassinated community leaders.
18. According to the Archbishop Tutu, the goals of the TRC are to promote and contribute to the achievement of unity and the reconciliation of their nation.
