An unexpected source of revenue has been suggested by the Afrikaanse Handelsinstitituut [Afrikaans Chamber of Commerce]. They proposed that the TRC and the government fund the reparation and rehabilitation process by dipping into the billions of rands in the South African security risk insurance fund, also known as the SASRI fund. // The SASRI fund is about R9 billion strong and it was set up in the apartheid era to cover the risk of political riots and other insurance which could not be obtained in the market. I think it was never expected that there would be a surplus in this fund, but the premiums that came in far exceeded whatever payments were made out. And now this huge pool of funds has accumulated, it’s earning interest, every year it’s growing.
