Court Dismisses Zuma, Mbeki Push to Oust Head of Apartheid Probe.

The article focuses on a High Court ruling dismissing a demand by former South African Presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki that Justice Sisi Khampepe recuse herself from leading an inquiry into the government's failure to prosecute apartheid-era crimes. The request was based on Khampepe’s prior role as a commissioner on South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which had denied amnesty to some applicants. Current President Cyril Ramaphosa also sought her recusal, but she declined. The inquiry responds to allegations by victims’ families that African National Congress (ANC)-led administrations, including Mbeki’s, obstructed prosecutions following the TRC’s recommendations, with claims of a possible secret deal with apartheid officials.
