This book is my first ever to be published. It goes without saying that there are a number of people and situations which provided the inspiration for this accomplishment. My wife, Rehlotswe and my children, Lesedi and Naledi who were always by my side offering advice and glimpses into the future to get the work done. My late father, for introducing me to reading and turning me into a precocious and inquisitive baby. My late mother for admonishing my late brother to spend his reading time on worthwhile ventures. My entire family with whom I experienced the pain and demise of apartheid. My former ministers, Director-Generals, and colleagues in South Africa's Department of Justice and Constitutional Development for their support and willingness to share. All my friends for the motivation and support they gave me. And my generation for boldly declaring "Freedom or Death: Victory is certain". I also thank High Commissioner Kayihura of the High Commission of the Republic of Rwanda and Ambassador Park of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea for their kind assistance in the production of this book.
It is my fervent wish that my humble contribution will assist the course of nation-building and reconciliation in South Africa in particular, and the world in general.
