late at night on the 27th of june, 985 in a remote region of apartheid. south africa, 4 young activists returning home to credit the tiny town on the eastern cape. they followed by security police force of the road. and abducted 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

matthew, go anyway, spotted contents. finally, they were killed in 1985. these files here. apartheid and basically documents it proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that my father was killed by by the pastor 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 sprayed, the states 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 decade later, after wide rule came to an end, a truth commission was set up to invade to get crimes like these. it was dubbed the t r. c. monday a lotta the can use mother was one of the 1st to testify at the t o. c. lutheran and allison 20 and couldn't handle this. so i was thinking too when, when when i. 2 was crying terribly. the testimony of the victims soon followed by that of perpetrators. one of them was the man who personally killed 4 kilometer. eric taylor, a former security policeman. i missed your call from behind this heavy i'm arching approximately when they have joined for nick who fell to the ground.

i was under the impression that he was unconscious swap. the other black men tapped him with knobs. i was 3 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 am, i could leave for a lot 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 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 like 900 ninety's. and if 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 every taylor was one of those 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. now 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 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 2 years. 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, and from the office of the commissioner, the minister way, at least able to open the case if i looked at the little progress has been made over the last few years. it's only been by 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 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 not proceed with a dozen chicken bridge of the bandler 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, former 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 economy know under the 4 licenses i was under pressure not to even go ahead with the cases. that's the place that they said they go to what tenure suspended sentences. why was it

a pressure on you not to pursue these cases from the agency government, whether the fellow is there was a field within the team. but the general 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 stalled the be abroad had a structure called the national effective comment. the very high ranking you all are becky law and thought. very strong evidence for drawing a direct line from all of the instructions given by the nbc. they want to buy

the 80, the liberation and plans that left mine all 3. obviously a lot of civilians died from the wall street bombing an apple in the which was also direct. ian fronted by the d. 900 died and 217 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. loya. ready acting on behalf of the accused english may direct call to contact that lawyer is young wagner, a former state attorney for the old regime, who since represented many former heartache security forces and then all of the the whole vacation standard. they have the security police side was able to pressure

the government into suspension by information. they had the privacy on crime committed by the liberation and use this very effective tool to pressure the government into stopping the government. did not want that case to go ahead to even been able to get a plea bargain. it was a big slug. 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 did that you could do under the circumstances in 2007, 4 can fund the mother 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 a, the preparing oppression to look at the government at work 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 can, 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, look on your was argy on 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 remember thinking, oh, that's 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 anywhere. well, hello,

good. anyway. and for to collab permanently removed from society. for decades, the party officials have steadfastly denied that the use of this phrase was an order to kill the despite of $989.00 judicial inquiry concluding that of the mountain to a death warrant or sanctioned. at the highest level, we interviewed audrey and 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 they must be permanently removed from society. what did that mean to remove the person from the society? you know, we, we in the industry, state security council, we are very careful not to tell, 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 or the movie and, you know, never nobody said killing but we, i thought it's probably it was meant if you gone 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 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'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 it's a potted era counterparts. held secret negotiations intended to ensure that such prosecutions would never happen. the talk start with the main

part of the 1998 until about 2003 on the title of the police. i put the ball on national commission on maga, even s w, declare, act on behalf of the police, the frame as flock on the side of the gun, the irish official, among other becky, vice president, president, adf general. they engaged in haul, starting tomorrow. they bought the great interests off the government to avoid trials. this requires quite differently. they put together a team of people that call the amnesty tossed him secret body. well, they are talking to classified secret. and this and to top 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 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 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 could de la canyons joining a call with the directory for priority crime investigations with the pci i need

to was speaking nice to 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 monies didn't. what i'm given to understand between we tried to track down eric taylor by his son. we moved some bad news dere eldon on the report was over 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 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 nappies, making a bottle and breaking your child's wind. 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 is here took my father away from me. drag 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 they must be convicted for taking my father away from me. okay, cool. thank you. right off the all the 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 and that of the a and see 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 he 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. hello, how are you? i'm not going to be on progress. it's been so long, but it's just something that can help him get peace with can be until the day i know might have been and

then i would maybe see myself again in step 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, that even that alone could have made me another person would have changed my life. would it take me out of to chris in the morning? that doesn't stop with me. 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 of for us. 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 schneider, the agency lawyer we interviewed, denied any knowledge of a secret amnesty arrangement. i mother, we up any agreement regarding non prosecution of upper traitors of a party of crimes for mattress would have slipped through the cracks. and this would have been one of them. i presume he also told us that the agency 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. legs are missing. so w go anyway. i live around the corner and a long way, 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, 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. i'll 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 dick out 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 of people who gave their lives for us to be free. so long as families one just to be done then just needs to be done because the rights of, of those family needs 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, 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 this, in a la carte house part, one of the key parts investigation, people and power on out his era. ah, ah ah,
