Abstract

The article focuses on a High Court ruling in South Africa rejecting a demand by former Presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki for Justice Sisi Khampepe to recuse herself from leading an investigation into the failure to prosecute apartheid-era crimes. The former leaders argued that Khampepe should step down due to her prior role as a commissioner on South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, where she denied amnesty to some applicants. Current President Cyril Ramaphosa also requested her recusal, but Khampepe declined. The ruling was made by Judge Thifhelimbilu Mudau of the Gauteng division of the High Court.
