What does it mean to ask someone for forgiveness? The experience after Apartheid in South Africa has much to teach us.

“In English, you say, ‘I’m sorry, forgive me.’ It’s all about me”

Says Mpho Tutu van Furth, the daughter to the late Desmond Tutu.

But in the South African language of Xhosa

“You say ndicela uxolo which means ‘I ask for peace’. And that’s a very different thing than ‘forgive me’”

In this episode, explore the deep impact of apartheid in South Africa, the meaning of true forgiveness, and the profound philosophy of Ubuntu. Discover how Mpho carries on her father's legacy of peace and reconciliation while navigating her own journey as an Episcopalian priest and social activist. This heartfelt and enlightening conversation delves into the courage required to love, forgive, and build a just community.
