No, the author of the source does not believe that the TRC was successful in its mission for truth and reconciliation.
The author states, "The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) promised much, but ultimately delivered relatively little by way of justice." This directly indicates a lack of success. Furthermore, the author notes that "The ANC government has subsequently been curiously inert (inactive) regarding apartheid-era human rights abuses," implying a failure to follow through on reconciliation. In the specific case of Aggett, the source highlights that those named by the TRC as responsible "did not apply for amnesty" and are "now dead," suggesting that the TRC's efforts did not lead to full accountability or justice. The ongoing nature of "re-opened inquests" is presented as significant "today," implying that the TRC's work was incomplete and required further investigation to achieve truth and respect.
