1:36 am
the state clamped down on black south africans. the government banged the funeral. and this is my 1st memory of my dad then at the funeral. so later that afternoon, the government then became a state of emergency the apartheid state didn't however, find any one culpable of the murders of the credit for but a dick had, later off the wide rule, came to an end. a truth commission was set up to invite to get crimes like these. it was dubbed the t r c. now monday, a lotta. the can use mother was one of the 1st to testify at the t o. c. lutheran and allison 20. and i couldn't handle this so i was thinking to wednesday when i. 2 me was crying terribly the testimony of the victims soon followed by that perpetrators. one of them was the man who personally killed

fort gelato. eric taylor, a former security policeman. i missed the call from behind this heavy i'm arching approximately when they had joined the nick of the who still to the ground versus i was under the impression that he was conscious swap. the other black men tapped him with knives. i was 3 and you know, my mother was pregnant, but the little girl, my older sister was 9 years old. my mother was 26. my father was twin and i might. and shockingly for lots of murder, is just one of hundreds from the parted era that have yet to be prosecuted. the question is just want to pull, was the intelligence con i would vonny that human rights lawyer has been pursuing

prosecutors and police investigators were instructed to simply don tools mcdaniel's been seeking justice for his father's death. since the t r c's work ended back in 2003. those attempts have been swatted at every turn. the credit for is a case in point. the investigation docket disappeared out of the offices of the national prosecuting authority. typically with a docket disappears, we know why it's disappeared. it's because somebody doesn't want to see justice done in that case. and the fact that it has disappeared from the headquarters of the national prosecutor authority is deeply alarming. and yet we see no alarm being expressed by the national prosecutor authority. we had come to the cape town, central police station to august to come and open a charge of theft against the national prosecuting authority. when mister kilometer tried to open up a case, he was ignored for more than
1:40 am
a year. he begged the investigating officers to look into why that docket was removed and had never been found. once we came here, we were then told that we can't really open the case. we had to write to the commissioner police. and so that if you want to open up a docket, we'll see you in court. finally, after intervention from our lawyers and from the office of the commission and the minister way, at least able to open the case. if i looked at the little progress that has been made over the last few years, it's only be made because the families have made an effort. but because the police have decided to take up the cases, we not having any luck with the national prosecuting authority, despite many requests of the prosecuting authority or the department of justice. granted us interviews. what evidence concrete evidence do you have that there was high level political interference? well, the concrete evidence comes from mccauley himself. was he because he was the head
1:41 am
of south africa national prosecuting authority, also known as the mpa from 2005 to 2007. the direct interference that, that, that i experienced was when the minister and my band le, she thought that we would proceed with a dozen chicken bridge of madame la was the minister of justice at the time she declined to be interviewed. but in a statement said that because his claim and relation to my service is untrue. the prosecutions in question were against to senior a party. officials, audrey, i'm flock, form a minister of law and order. and you hum from the murder form a commissioner of police. they were accused of the attempted murder of reverend frank to connie, a high profile anti apartheid activist. when you are under pressure from the government to give life sentences for the attempted murder of river and french

a structure called the national effective the very high ranking. you all are becky law on various from evidence for drawing a direct line from all the instructions given by the nbc they want. i can pinpoint the 80, the liberation and plans that left mine all 3. obviously a lot of civilian died from the wall street bonding african apple in the which was also direct instructed by the 900 died. and $217.00 were winded many of them civilians. then ben's told us just how much influence the former party establishment still wielded in the new south africa. lawyer acting on behalf of the accused in
1:44 am
this call may the direct call to contact that lawyer is young wagner, a former state attorney for the old regime, who since represented many former a party security forces all over the kitchen, what the standard they have, the security police side was able to pressure the government into suspension by information they had the privacy on the crime committed by the liberation and use this very tool to pressure the government into stuffing. the government did not want that piece to go ahead to even been able to get a plea bargain. it was a big slugs. the least that we able to do was to make sure that that won't have criminal record that's, that's stuff the best that it, that you could do under the circumstances in 2007 for can fund the murder. both received suspended sentences. since then, they've been no further reported era prosecution and security hall security,
1:45 am
police even collect or investigation docket. this evidence against the a, the preparing a oppression to looking at the government. and the may some of these things for you, this official reluctance to prosecute the crimes of the past has left the pursuit of justice in the hands of ordinary citizens. like the con, your, and over the years is accumulated the mountain of evidence which implicates not just the trigger polars, but also those who gave them their orders. one of them says, because you know, was argee and flock, the man prosecuted by the collie. on the 5th of june, i then flung it, takes a drive to where, where we stayed. and my mom remembers thinking that flock because she was looking at him through the window on the 6th of june, flock, chad and meeting of the eastern province joint management center. and then on the
1:46 am
7th of july, this military signal is sent through the state to go to council. this signal recommends the permanent removal from society of mexico anywhere will elegant and fort collab has permanently removed from society. for decades, a party officials have steadfastly denied, but the use of this phrase was an order to kill the despite of $989.00 judicial inquiry concluding that the mountain to a death warrant sanctioned at the highest level. we interviewed audrey on flock, who's known as a t's. we asked him if he was involved in planning the killings of the credit for i really had no authority to do the sort of things i, i went to do do these areas. i asked the security forces to give me
1:47 am
a briefing, what is going on, what is this of georgia? but i could not give them instructions to kill people. my authorities finish as far as, as i said, locked them up. but later in the interview, that flock made a startling admission. there was definitely an order that found its way into the state security council saying they must be permanently removed from society. what did that mean to remove the person from the society? know it, you know, we, we is just state security council. we are very careful not to tell us not to say and to, to make a note and do as in the, in a minutes to kill anybody. so we would say remove a person from the society and he movie and you know, we never, nobody said killing but we, i thought it's probably it was meant to if you can't solve the problem by removing
1:48 am
the guy, then you could give your thought that then not not conscious, but afterwards thinking beck, i must admit that i realized this was a possibility. none of these things would have escaped someone like former president f. w clack. there was actual proof of his attendance to some of those states security council. if w to clinic with south africa, the last white president, his foundation didn't respond to our interview requests from the out. but he's previously strenuously denied allegations that he sanctioned or knew about any political murders. i have never been thought of any decisions taken by cabinet. the state security council, or any committee authorizing or instructing the commission of such gross violations of human rights. but without actual prosecutions. the full truth behind such
1:49 am
killings when never come to light. what has come to light though, is that the aims, the government, and its apartheid era counterparts held secret negotiations intended to ensure that such prosecutions would never happen. the talk started off the main part of the 1998 until about 2003 on the police. i spoke with a ball on national commission on maga. even s w, declare act on behalf of the police, the frame law on the side of the government. they were ira anything officially, among other becky, vice president, president, adf general. they engaged in starting tomorrow. there was a great interest off the government to avoid trials. this requires quite
1:50 am
differently. they put together a team of people that called the amnesty tossed him secret body. well, they talked him to classified secret, and this amnesty toss team was given the following direction. come up with recommendations to somehow guarantee impunity for people on all sides. the secret amnesty arrangement might well have succeeded in vonny and other human rights lawyers hadn't intervened me. we opposed most of those applications on the basis that it was held secretly until we kicked the profess. we didn't even know who was applying victims themselves, couldn't make any representations, but in the face of mounting legal pressure applied of a decades, the n p a might now finally be forced to act. we have had to apply pressure, constant pressure. today i'm happy to report that the office of the deputy public prosecutor is now guiding the investigation into the majors
1:51 am
up the credit for miles which the de la canyons joining a call with the directors for priority crime investigations with the pci and you want to was speaking nice cliff marian, who's the lead investigator that was appointed by the foundation for human rights. that's the human rights organization representing look on your and his family. the murder dock. it's been shell for so long, said marian must now re brief state investigators about the own case with all known example alive or did did the money. a lot of the i'm giving to understand

between we tried to track down eric taylor by his son. we heard some bad news. dear olden, i'm a report with algebra and we would love to talk to eric and wondered if you could put us in touch. eric, my father or brother your father so he passed away november 2016. that's from elden taylor. the facebook, eric taylor's profile is still active about a year before his death. it shows him cradling what looks like his grandchild. and it looks like he's smiling. and someone says, you look like a father that knows about changing nap, making a bottle and breaking your child's when it was in my son knows absolutely nothing about his grandfather. i struggled to raise my son today.
1:53 am
there's been many days when i have no clue as to whether what i'm doing in raising my son, whether i'm doing the right thing as a father. because this boss had here took my father away from me. dr. me is holding his grandson or grandchild eric kayla. and the blue one that had anything to do with my father's death, they must all be investigated. they must be prosecuted. and the muscle be convicted for taking my father away from me.
1:54 am
okay, cool. thank you. right off the old it's transpired. laconia decides it's time for him to travel back to credit his child at home. it's back there that his family's history instead of the i n c. are deeply entwined. his great grandfather, james, author, carlotta was an agency luminary in 1956. he was elected secretary general within the african national congress. by the time he handed overpower in 1949 like a day and who was in such good standing that they could then kick off the defiance campaign. something 950 you know, way to credit, to go and update my mother. they had some activities that are beginning to show progress along the way. you want
1:55 am
me to progress. it's been so long, but it's just something that i can work out and get peace with can be until today. i know might have been and then i would maybe see myself again in step leaving in my life in a month. then i have another meeting and then we'll get an update from from the hawks again to see how far they've gone with the investigation. and then we'll see in the morning the family visit for the grave. the news of taylor's death affected them deeply. if we could have eric taylor ending day, telling the whole truth about what happened, that even that alone could have made me another person would have changed my
1:56 am
life would if take me out of the grief in the morning that i didn't stop with him. when he came into power, we were really having a big hope that teams is going to change. but unfortunately, it's so painful. i don't even think they know who they could for us. we asked the agency to address the issue of delay prosecutions. why is it taken, sir? no, it's you know, there's no reason no explanation for that. could have been lack of focus. it could have been bad planning not being crowded ties properly. chris, ny do the agency lawyer. we interviewed denied any knowledge of a secret amnesty arrangement. i mother, we up any agreement regarding non prosecution of up at traitors of a party of crimes for mattress would have slipped the cracks and this would have been one of them. i presume he also told us that the agency has now,
1:57 am
after 18 years, recently started supporting prosecution agencies. now fully on board we, we've worked since last year. we did about 5, we looking at investigating 5 methods at the moment in 3 different provinces. we hoping to move that along to about 15 this year on his final day and credit. look on your visits for the 1st time. a memorial set up in honor of the credit for this is really so heartbreaking lexus. i'm missing. ok. so it's w go anyway, hello, her own conn and holly, where, where are the rest of the letters? we are the rest of the names. what is this and why is it laying? yeah, i mean,
1:58 am
why is it lane? yeah. you know, we told the a and see we told them that we could not trust them. we told them that we could not entrust our father's legacy to them. i'm his dad didn't think it would look this bad can i kind of kilometer has an uphill battle. it's always difficult to to investigate a case that is decades old because the witnesses have died. suspects have died, memory stayed, and so much cover up has taken place. but laconia remains resolute. the legacy of the kind of full is, is so much more than just power for us is more about honoring the lives in the legacy of people who gave their lives for us to be free. so long as families one just has to be done. then just needs to be done because the rights of,
1:59 am
of those families need to be vindicated. and what a question about just letting bygones be bygones, if we are happy to, to lead to several 100 murders, to be swept under the carpet. and what's to say that we wouldn't be happy to do that again in the future. ah eunice, trailer aboriginal children as young as 10 being arrested and locked up in the 1st of 2 special report, $11.00 east investigate trail is indigenous incarceration cross on which is 0. 1 3rd of all the food produce is wasted with tens of thousands of put out all in south korea has been transformed from west to offend, to be the leader in foot recycling either reporting on how your technology is
