Your editorial opinion on the reopening of inquests into the deaths of anti-apartheid activists refers (“Finding truth and closure”, April 15).

The more details we can know about our history the better. We need to understand and fully appreciate our past, for the sake of establishing the truth, reconciliation and understanding.

However, for our futures it would bode better for the country if this sort of scrutiny and commitment to the truth was applied a little closer to the present ... and, for the government, a little closer to home.
