Listen "Sawbonna"
Episode Synopsis
What does it take to forgive and then form a relationship with the man who murdered your father? Margot Van Sluytman lost her dad in an armed robbery when she was 16. She immediately wanted to know the man who had taken him from her. But she had many miles of grief to travel before that day would come. She needed to walk her grief and she used her writing to do that. It was 30 years later when they finally met. Surprisingly, they felt a connection. The worst moment in each of their lives was something they held in common. And their commitment to make something good out of something terrible bonded them. Since then, they have worked together to create, in their own ways, Sawbonna experiences. In Zulu Sawbonna means I see you. These two, joined by tragedy, have grown to see each other. Their ability to find the humanity in each other has given other people in their situation hope and healing. If they succeeded, can't we all do a little better at seeing each other past our differences?
