This is why a subcommittee for Reconciliation and Out of Court Settlement headed by the Chief Convener was set up to handle  grievance resolution.”

The Committee clearly appreciates the deep divisions that the crisis has created and the hard stances that currently exist among the brother combatants.

“The Committee clearly has its work cut out for it. The Committee will be meeting with this group of Kingmakers and listen to their positions with a view to reconciliation and peaceful coexistence in Evwreni. The group and every other aggrieved persons including victims of violence and death are all Evwreni people. The Committee believes everyone will finally put the survival of the community first above their individual interests”
