collapse before the kind of reform you're talking about can take place. we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world we live in. why are we not in the best situation? why has that money been responded? how did that happen? counting the cost on al jazeera ah south africa as apartheid regime for to cling on to power in the latter the 20th century. it routinely imprisons tortured and murdered its opponents. controversially, many of those crimes went on punished in the years of reconciliation that followed by the families of victims have never given up hopes of justice. this is the remarkable story of one man's best buy to hold his father's killers to account i.

it's late at night on the 27th of june, 1985 in a remote region of apartheid. south africa, 4 young activists returning home to crate oak, the tiny town in the eastern cape. they followed by security police force of the road and abducted the they'll never be seen alive again. 36 years later, the families of these men still wait for the murderers and those who ordered the

death to be brought to justice. my father for hello. messy go anyway, spot him. contents dalim sali, they were killed in 1985. these files here, apartheid basically documents it proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that my father was killed by, by the apostles government. the deaths of the credit for if they came to be known, cause local and international outrage. 60000 people attended the funeral. they hadn't expected that revolution would actually come from the middle of the crew. in a small town like this, fearing the englewood sprayed, the state clamped down on black south africans, the government banged the funeral. and this is my 1st memory of my dad events 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. and alison 20 in i couldn't handle this. so i was thinking to fit when and when i. 2 me was crying terribly the taste of many of the victims soon followed by that of perpetrators. one of them was the man who personally killed fort gelato. eric taylor, a former security policeman. i missed a call from behind this he

b. i'm arching approximately when they had joined the make of the who still to the ground. was it under the impression that he was unconscious swap. the other black men tapped him with knives. i was 3, as you know, my mother was pregnant, but the little girl, my older sister was 9 years old. my mother was 26. my father was 20 and i might shockingly put lots of murder is just one of hundreds from the apartheid 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 these cases for decades. e t r c handed over a list of some 400 cases. as far back as the light,

990 s next to nothing has happened since those those families of course have been pushing for answers, particularly in cases where amnesty was denied. mr. taylor, have a look at paragraph for eric taylor was one of those who was denied amnesty and part because he wouldn't reveal given him his orders. if this is through. every part of lies have been, has been told to this committee. but the state chose not to prosecute men like eric taylor in all those above him. they chose not to because a political decision was taken at the highest political level post 2002. and that decision was there will be no justice in any of these cases, 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 duck 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 collado tried to open up the case, he was ignored. move under. yeah, 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 of police. and so that if you want to open up a docket, we'll see you in court. finally, after intervention from our lawyers in 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, its only been made because the families have made an effort up 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 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. she thought that when proceeding 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 2 senior 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're under pressure from the government to give life sentences for the attempted murder of river and french economy. no, and, and the for licenses. i was under pressure not to even go ahead

with the cases that that's the pressure that they said they go to what tenure suspended centers is. why was it a pressure on you not to pursue these cases from the anti government? whether the fellow is there was a feel within the, the birthday to teen up. but the general would also mean members of the see also being prostituted. the liberation, even though that i fought for job call happened, involved the girls, human rights violation really bonanza the german lawyer and legal researcher investigative. why? after the t r. c ended prosecutions have stolen the be abroad has a structure called the national effective the very high ranking. you all are becky zoom. i thought very strong evidence for drawing and direct line from all the

distractions given by the nbc land, by 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 directly instructed by the v. 19 died and $217.00 were winded many of them civilians. then ben's had told us just how much influence the former party establishment still wielded in the new south africa lawyer acting on behalf of the accused english major 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 of a sudden the whole publication about the standard. they have the security police side was able to pressure the government pension by information. they had the privacy on crime committed by the liberation. i use this very effective tool to pressure the government into stuffing. the government did not want that case 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 to have criminal records that's. that's just the best that did that you could do under the circumstances in 2007 flock and found the murder both received suspended sentences since then. they've been no further reported era prosecution and security calling security police even for investigation docket. this evidence against the a,

the preparing as a question to look at the government and the lay 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 the over the years he's accumulated the mountain of evidence for which implicates not just the trigger pillars, but also those who gave them their orders. one of them says because you know, was argee on flock. the man prosecuted by the collie. on the 5th of june, i then flung visits, takes a drive to where, where we stay. and my mom remembers thinking that flock because she was looking at him through the window on the 6th of june. flock chad, a meeting of the eastern province joint management center. and then on the 7th of july, this military signal is sent to the state to go to council. this signal recommends

the permanent removal from society of maybe go anywhere will elegant and for to collab. as permanently removed from society for decades, a party officials have steadfastly denied that the use of this phrase was in order to kill the despite of 1989 judicial inquiry concluding that of the mountain to a death warrant or sanctioned. at the highest level, we interviewed our gym 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 d areas. i asked the security forces to give me 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, in the industry state a curacy council, we are very careful not to tell us not to say and to, to make a note and do as in a minutes to kill anybody. so we would say every move of persian from the society or the movie. and you know, never, nobody said killing but we, i thought it probably it was meant to if you can't solve the problem by removing the guy, then you could give you thought that then not not conscious,

but afterwards thinking beck. i must admit that i realized it 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's last white president, his foundation didn't respond to our interview requests from out, but he's previously strenuously denied allegations that he sanctioned or knew about any political murders. i have never been thought of any decision 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 killings when never come to light. what has come to light though? is it the aims, the government and its apartheid era counterparts?

held secret negotiations intended to ensure that such prosecutions would never happen. the talk started the main part of the 1998 until about 2003 on the title of the police. i spoke with the national commission on maga, even s w, declare acted on the police, the frame as law on the side of the iranian government official. among other becky, vice president, president, adf general. they engaged in haul, starting tomorrow. there was a great interest off the government to avoid the trial. this requires quite differently. they put together a team of people who call the amnesty tossed him secret body. well,

they talked him success if secret, and this and the 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. we opposed most of those applications on the basis that it was held secretly until we kicked up at 1st. we didn't even know he was applying victims themselves, couldn't make any representations. but in the face of mounting legal pressure applied over 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 motors up the credit for miles which the de la canyon joining

a call with the directors for priority crime investigations with the pci i knew. well, it's to on 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 doc. it's been shelf for so long that marian must now re brief state investigators about the own case. with all known example alive or did he did the money one of the i'm given to understand between we tried to track down eric taylor by his son. we heard some bad news drilled in on the 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 in november 2016. that's from eldon taylor. 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 knows about changing nap, making a bottle and breaking a child's when it and my son knows absolutely nothing about his grandfather. i struggle to raise my son today. 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 day, they must all be investigated. they must be prosecuted. and they muscle the convicted for taking my father away from me. okay, cool. thank you. right after all that 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 a and 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 day and who was in such good standing that they could then kick off the defiance campaigns of the 1950s where you know, way to credit, to go and update my mother. some activities that are beginning to show progress you, i'm not going to be progress console, but it's just something that can help him get peace

with can be until the day i know might have been thursday and then i will make it to myself again leaving in my life, like 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 at evening. that alone could have made me another person would have changed my life. would have taken me out of the grief in the morning that doesn't stop within me. when he came into power,

we were really having a big hope that things is going to change. but unfortunately, it's so painful. i don't even think they know who they could of for use. we asked the agency to address the issue of delay prosecutions. why is it taken, sir? no, it's, 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 am not aware of any agreement regarding non prosecution of a potatoes of a potted crimes. foam mattress would have slipped through the cracks and this would have been one of them. i presume. he also told us that the n c has now, 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 craddock laconia visits for the 1st time a memorial set up in honor of the credit for this is really so heartbreaking because i'm missing so it's w go away. hello me, wrong console. and holly where, where are the rest of the letters? we are the rest of the names. what is just and why is the laying? yeah, i mean, 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 and trust. i'll father's legacy to them. i'm just, i didn't think it would look that bad. can i kind of kilometer has an uphill battle. it's always difficult to, to investigate a case that is decades old because witnesses have died. suspects have died, memory stayed and so much cover up has taken place. but look on your remains resolute. the legacy of the kind of full is it's 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 justice needs to be done because the rights of, of those families need to be vindicated. and what a question about just letting bygones be bygones, if we're happy to,

to lead to several 100 murders, be swept under the carpet. and what's to say that we wouldn't be happy to do that again in the future. ah, it's one of the world's most powerful and dangerous criminal enterprises. central to the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people. and behind the death of many more exceptional access to some of its key players reveals the inner workings of an organisation telling the known to many as the blood alliance. inside the sin, a la carte house part, one of the key parts investigation, people and power on al jazeera. just the right here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be heard? how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought

into reporting from under reported areas? of course we cover major global offend that are passionate lives and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how was fine libya and her region. and so many other. we go to them, you make the effort, we care with me . i me and you tell me about got on that this inspected to take shape in afghanistan. as katara says, it's working to reopen the airport in couple claims of bribery and brutality. i've gotten interpreters so they were prevented from leaving council by special units funded by the u. s. government. ah madison. this is

a lie from dough hobb also coming up. flash floods from hot it can either kill at least 40 people in the northeast of the us, several shops and buildings and.
