South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is launching an inquiry to investigate claims that previous ANC governments obstructed the investigation of apartheid-era crimes. This decision follows a lawsuit from 25 families of victims seeking justice, claiming that government interference stifled investigations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Ramaphosa's inquiry aims to uncover the truth and provide closure to these families, who have long been fighting for recognition and compensation, particularly for the notorious killings of the Cradock Four, for which accountability remains unresolved despite previous TRC findings.
Allegations of improper influence in delaying or hindering the investigation and prosecution of apartheid-era crimes have persisted from previous administrations.
President Ramaphosa appreciates the anguish and frustration of the families of victims, who have fought for so many years for justice.
