Rwandan fugitive, Ukiliho Kayishema Fulgence, who was wanted for his alleged role in the killing of about 2 000 people during the 1994 genocide in that country, appeared in the Cape Town magistrate court after his arrest in Paarl earlier this week.
The 61-year-old has been wanted since 2002, when he was indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda over his alleged role in the Nyange church massacre.
Fulgence, who was locally known as Donatien Nibashumba, faces five charges including fraud and contravening the Immigration Act 13 of 2002 and the Refugee Act 130 of 1998. In its case against Fulgence, the state alleges that he falsely presented himself as Fulgence Dende-Minani in two separate cases to the home affairs department when he applied for asylum in South Africa in January 2000 and for refugee status in June 2004. He also falsely acted as a Burundian citizen.
Fulgence’s refugee status expired on 9 June 2006 and he was working on a grape farm in Paarl when the police apprehended him on Wednesday. The Rwandan fugitive was listed on the global policing authority Interpol’s Red Notice for genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide and crimes against humanity.
