South Africa to hold inquiry on alleged hampering of apartheid prosecutions | News

The move comes after survivors and relatives of victims of apartheid-era crimes launched a court case against Ramaphosa’s government.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has initiated an inquiry to investigate whether previous ANC-led governments obstructed investigations into apartheid-era crimes, a demand from survivors and victims’ families for decades. This decision follows a court case launched by 25 individuals claiming that successive governments failed to address unresolved crimes despite recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The inquiry aims to address allegations of improper influence and prioritize justice for the victims, including unresolved cases like the Cradock Four.
