remarkable story of one man's breath 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 craddock, the tiny town on the eastern cape. they followed by security police force of the road. mm. 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 a lot messy going the way spotted contents dalim sali, they were killed in 1985. these fall apart. basically, documents and proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that my father was killed by, by the 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 lucian would actually come from the middle of the crew in a small town like this, fearing the anger would spread, the state clamped down on black south africans. the government banged the funeral.

and this is my 1st memory of my dad. then it's 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, after wide rule came to an end. a truth commission was set up to invite to get crimes like lease 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. r. c lutheran. and allison 20 in i couldn't handle this so i was thinking too lengthy and when i. 2 me was crying terribly the testimony 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 miss them from behind this he b. i'm checking the problem from the way they have joined the make of the who still to the ground was under the impression that he was unconscious swap. the other black commander tapped him with knobs. i was free and you know, my mother was pregnant, but the little girl, my oldest sister was 9 years old. my mother was 26. my father was 20 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 howard vonnie. human rights lawyer has been pursuing these cases

for decades. e t r c. and that i have a list of some 400 cases as far back as the light, 990, isn't 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 possible 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 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 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. sorry. 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 a case, he was ignored for more than 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 route 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, and from the office of the commissioner, the minister way, at least able to open a case if i looked at the little progress has been made over the last few years. it's 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 mccaulley 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 it would proceed with a dozen breach 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 person for les sentences that was an oppressive, not to even go ahead with the cases. that's the price that they said they go to what 10 years has been as soon as this. why was it a pressure on you not to pursue these cases from the anti government? whether the fellow is there was a fear within the 1st actual team. but the generals would also mean members of the sea and also being prostituted the liberation even though that i fought for call. i've been involved in girls, human rights violation, really bonanza. the german lawyer and legal researcher investigated why after the t . r. c ended prosecutions have stolen the, the abroad had a structure called the national effective the very high ranking. you all are

becky law and thought very strong evidence for drawing a direct line from all those instructions given by the nbc. there was biker in the 80, the liberation and plans that left mine all 3. obviously, a lot of civilian died from the wall street bonding, an apple in the, which was also direct. ian fronted by the v. 19 died and $217.00 were winded many of them civilians. then but benz told us just how much influence the former apartheid establishment still wielded in the new south africa lawyer. ready acting on behalf of the accused in this economy made the direct call to

contract. that lawyer is young wagner, a former state attorney for the old regime, who since represented many former or take security forces and then all of the, the whole book, the kitchen band. they have the security police side was able to pressure the government in the fashion by information they had the privacy on crime committed by the liberation. i use this a very effective tool to pressure the government into stopping 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 records. that's. that's just the best that did that you could do under the circumstances. in 2007 flow can fund the murder both received suspended sentences. since then, they've been no further reported era prosecution and security calling security,

police even collect investigation docket. this evidence against the 8th, the preparing a oppression to look at the government and lay some of these things for you. this official reluctance to prosecute the crimes of the past and has left the pursuit of justice in the hands of ordinary citizens like the con, your, and over the years he accumulated the mountain of evidence which implicates not just the trigger pillars, but also those who gave them their orders, one of them says because you know, was argee and flock, the man prosecuted by the kole on the 5th of june. i then flung visits, kind of 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, 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 mexico anyway. well, hello, good, anyway. and for to collab permanently removed from society. for decades, the party officials have steadfastly denied that the use of the phrase was an order to kill the despite of $989.00 judicial inquiry, the concluding that of 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 these sort of things. i, i went to do duties 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 there must be permanently removed from society. what did that mean to remove the person from the society? no. you know, we, we, in this state to cure the 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 every move a person from the society and he movies and you know, never nobody said killing but we, i thought it probably it was meant if you can't solve the problem by removing the

guy, then you could give your thought that then not not conscious, but afterwards thinking back, 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 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 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 off the main part of the 1998 until about 2003 on the title of the police. i spoke with a ball on national commission on maga, even as w declare, acted on the phone, the police, the frame as law on the side of the gun. ira, anything officially, among other becky, vice president, president, adf, general. they engaged in starting tomorrow. there was a great interest off the government and 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 he tossed 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 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 motors of

the credit for miles which the de la canyon joining a call with the directors for priority crime investigations. with the pci i need 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 that marian must now re brief state investigators about the own case with all known example alive or did it. and mine is one of the i'll give it to understand

between we tried to track down eric taylor by his son. we heard some bad news. dear elden, on the report was out there 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 that knows about changing nephew making a bottle and breaking a child's when it and my son knows absolutely nothing about his grandfather. i struggled 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. he 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 they must be convicted for taking my father away from me.

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 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. there's some activities that are beginning to show progress allows you to progress in so long,

but it's just something that i can work out and 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, you know, and 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 then. 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 it 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 the taken sell it? 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 upper traitors of a part of it are 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 credit. look on your visits for the 1st time. a memorial set up in honor of the credit for this is really so heartbreaking leg because i'm missing. so you w, go anyway, i log wrong quantile and holly where, where are the rest of the letters? we are the rest of the names. what is this and why is it lane? 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 entrust our father's legacy to them. i'm just, i didn't think it would look this bad can i can colada has an uphill battle. it's always difficult to, to investigate a case that is decades old because witnesses have died. suspects have died, memories fade, and so much cover up has taken place. but laconia remains resolute. the legacy of the kind of full is it's so much more than just power for us. it's more about honoring the lives in the legacy. those people who gave their lives for us to be free, so long as families one just has to be done. then just as 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 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, 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 name 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,

the taliban has taken control of afghans. 20 years after it was the whole from power. the country now faces a new reality. how will that impact the people as events unfold in the world? re stay with us, the latest news and analysis promise me madison, and don't the top stories and i'll just 0 a 1st batch. if you mandatory. 8 is revived enough canister on as capital airport reopened, for some commercial flights. imaginations has worn that have kind of on is on the verge of a food crisis. doctors and nurses. so the african health care system is close to collapse. many haven't been paid for the last 3 months of the world bank and other western bodies have frozen funding. remote fighting is continuing between taliban forces and

a resistance movement in the punchy or valley to the north of the african capital. both sides claim they are winning the baffled.
