Abstract

Thabo Mbeki, the second president of democratic South Africa after Nelson Mandela, is involved in a legal dispute with the government and families of victims of apartheid-era crimes. The families are seeking damages and a commission of inquiry into why these crimes were never prosecuted, alleging that Mbeki and other ANC-led administrations hindered the process. Mbeki denies these accusations, stating that there was no secret pact to protect ANC members from prosecution and that he never interfered in the cases. President Cyril Ramaphosa has indicated a willingness to settle the case, but substantial talks are pending. [Extracted from the article]
