CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THE KWAZULU-NATAL/ORANGE FREE STATE FIRST HEARINGS
The KwaZulu-Natal Truth and Reconciliation has unexpectedly changed the venue of its first hearings that will be held in Durban over four days next week, from Tuesday, May 7 to Friday May 10. The new venue is now going to be the JEWISH CLUB, which is situated at the top end of Old Fort Road, towards the Beachfront. The Jewish Club is about a block away from the SABC offices and the UNISA's Durban campus.
Initially the hearings were scheduled to be held at the Mahatma Ghandi Memorial Hall in Lorne Street, Durban. However, security and fire authorities felt that this venue was totally unsuitable for such an event, and advised the commission to seek an alternative venue.
The Truth Commission will highly appreciate it if you could publicise this sudden change of venue as widely and as often as is humanly possible.
