SA Launches Commission to Uncover Apartheid-Era Obstruction of Justice
Objectives?
To verify whether the South African police were prevented from investigating certain cases;
To assess whether prosecutions and compensation are justified.
"For many years, there have been allegations of interference in these cases. This alleged interference is seen as the cause of an unacceptable delay in the investigation and prosecution of brutal crimes committed under apartheid. This has caused the families of victims great anguish and frustration," said the South African President.
The commission will have to complete its investigations within six months.
