Text: forgiveness.
1-Everybody needs to forgive somebody, and that truth was never more apparent than in South Africa. At
a court hearing, a policeman named Van de Broek shared how he and other officiers had entered a village
and shot an eighteen-year-old boy. After the murder, they burned the boy’s body in order to destroy the

uve
evidence. Eight years later, Van de Broek returned to the same house and this time seized the boy’s father.
The man’s wife was forced to watch as policemen bound her husband on a woodpile, put gasoline over his
body and burned it.
2-The courtroom grew hushed as the elderly woman who had lost first her son and then her husband
listened to the officier Van de Broek’s confession. She was the given a chance to respond. ‘’What do you
pre
want from Mr van de Broek ?’’, the judge asked. The woman stood. She said she first wanted Van de Broek
to go to the place they have burned her husband’s body and gather up the dust so she could give him a
decent burial. After all, that dust was all she has left of her family. His head down, the policeman nodded in
e

agreement.
3-The she added a second request. ‘’Mr Van de Broek took all my family away from me, and I still have a lot
des

of love to give’’, she said. ‘’Twice a month, I would like for him to come to the ghetto and spend a day with
me so I can be a mother to him. And I would like Mr van de Broek to know that he is forgiven by God, and
that I will forgive him too. I would like to embrace him so he can know my forgiveness is real’’.
que

4-Spontaneously, some of the observers who were gathered in the courtroom began singing ‘’Amazing
grace’’ as the elderly woman made her way to the witness stand. Officier Van de Broek did not hear the
words of the hymn. He had fainted, completely overwhelmed. Van de Broek had entered the courtroom
that day locked in the tiny prison cell of his painful atrocities. Rather than revealing a thirst for vengeance,
the widow had instead extended the key that would unlock a new life.
