This paper provides a qualitative assessment of the activities of the Centre for Ubuntu (formerly the Religious Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission) as part of the larger discourse on truth and reconciliation in the Western Cape, South Africa. It notes that the campaign was launched as an interfaith response, merging spirituality with a political platform to address questions of truth, healing and reconciliation in a local context. It provides insight into the history and operation of the initiative, highlights key aspects, and sketches some of the debates and dynamics it generated.
