Abstract
One of the most painful things brought about by the apartheid
system in South Africa is instilling internalised feelings of
oppression in blacks. Its result has been a pathological self-hate
within blacks themselves. According to Mason, “we harbour
inside ourselves the pain and the memories, the fears and the
confusions, the negative self-images and the low expectations,
turning them into weapons with which to re-injure ourselves,
every day of our lives”.1 Thus, reconciliation is needed within
the blacks themselves to restore them to the state of creation as
ordained by God.
