A Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established to uncover the atrocities committed by the apartheid regime.

A state reparations fund was set up to assist some of the victims, but much of that money has largely gone unspent.

Despite progress made over the past 30 years , many of the "born-free generation" have inherited the cycle.

Mr Dyasi still remembers the sense of freedom and optimism he felt when he left prison in 1990 .

"We don't want to be millionaires," he says.
