Summary
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has initiated a judicial inquiry into alleged political interference in prosecuting apartheid-era crimes, responding to a lawsuit from survivors and victims’ relatives seeking $9 million for perceived injustices. Despite the Truth and Reconciliation Commission uncovering atrocities, few cases have progressed to trial, and critics claim a secret deal between the African National Congress and the former government hindered prosecutions. The inquiry aims to establish the truth about these allegations and will soon announce its head and timetable.
