Abstract
This paper attempts to identify some ethical dimensions in the preaching of Beyers
Naudé, as being representative of a structural-contextual-ethical mode of moral
discourse. Cognisance is taken in particular of sermons preached shortly before the
first general elections were held in South Africa, and sermons preached in the aftermath
of this historical event. This is done to determine whether any fundamental changes
took place in Naude’s thinking on justice during these times of transition. A brief
discussion of different theological discourses on restorative justice in South Africa is
given. The paper concludes with some observations on the continuous relevance of
Naudé for the current debate on restorative justice in South Africa.
