Unconditional Forgiveness
Desmond Tutu’s great insight was that there are no conditions on forgiveness. The “even if” part of this question means that the questioner is not talking about forgiveness.
South Africa is a miracle. I do not know of another example in history where the political authorities in a nation gave up their power voluntarily without bloodshed and civil war. The fact that these authorities went on to become a cooperative minority in the new government was a stunning achievement.
