The National Prosecuting Authority has admitted that political interference by senior politicians in government has led to delays in the prosecution of apartheid-era crimes.
His affidavit comes after Imtiaz Cajee, Timol’s nephew who has been pursuing the truth behind his uncle’s murder for more than two decades, filed court papers accusing the NPA of delaying the prosecution of cases which were not resolved at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission . “The record speaks for itself. How many TRC cases has the NPA investigated and actually moved forward? And the only other names that comes to mind is that of the murder of Nokuthula Simelane and the death in detention of Dr Neil Aggett,” Cajee told thePretorius says, however, that Cajee is pointing fingers in the wrong direction.
There are families who lost loved ones during police detention in the apartheid-era and are now watching the Timol case closely. The family of Dr Hoosen Haffejee, who was found dead in a police cell in Durban, and Matthews Mabelane, whose body was found at John Vorster Square, have echoed their support for the Timol families pursuit of justice.
