Different versions of an event, one step closer to the ‘truth’

By Stuart Lowman

My attendance at the CEO SleepOut at Liliesleaf farm this week was an eye opener.

Cold feet aside, what was most relevant were the one-sided history lessons taught, a result of being schooled in the 90’s.

55 years to the day [11 July 2018] 10 freedom fighters were arrested.

Simply put, alternate versions of this event were showcased, which emphasised how integral it is that the more versions one has of a specific event, the more likely they are to get some semblance of the actual truth.

The phrase ‘one version of the truth’ seems well past its expiry date.
