as Chairperson of the NPRC. Unfortunately, Dr. Ndebele died on 7
October 2016 and had not been replaced by the time this guide was
compiled. Chapter 8 of this guide is dedicated to the appointment
and composition of the NPRC commissioners. In addition unofcial
biographies of the current commissioners can be found in annexure

The NPRC is a constitutional commission set up to support
democracy and entrench a culture of human rights. To that end, the
NPRC shall be accessible to every citizen particularly to those who
are victims, witnesses and perpetrators of past human rights
violations. Chapter 8 addresses the question on how to approach
and make use of the NPRC as a victim, survivor, witness or
perpetrator.
More importantly, the NPRC will require a large amount of resources
to carry out its mandate, functions and activities, employ its staff and
pay for its day-to-day operations. Chapter 9 talks about the budget
of the NPRC.
The NPRC will require cooperation and assistance from other
organisations. This guide nally deals with the issue of relevance and
the involvement of other stakeholders such as local and
international civil society organizations, the international
community, and other commissions in the work of the NPRC in
Chapter 10.
