  • Matthias Gensicke Senior Researcher Sonderforschungsbereich 520 University of Hamburg

Abstract

This article focuses on the preliminary results of a survey that was conducted among 145 students at the Universities of Stellenbosch and Pretoria in October 2002. In this survey the students were asked to answer questions regarding their personal religiosity, their perception of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) in the past, present and the future, and the reconciliation process in South Africa, especially with regard to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. At the end of this article the author highlights certain trends that evolved out of the first evaluation of the survey.
