A South African commission investigates why 3,000 apartheid-era cases remain unprosecuted, delayed by a dispute over a key investigator's recusal.
A South African judicial commission, led by retired Justice Sisi Khampepe, began investigating alleged interference in the prosecution of 3,000 apartheid-era cases referred by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but its first session was delayed due to a dispute over the evidence leader, Ishmael Semenya, who faces a recusal request from the National Prosecuting Authority over past ties.
The inquiry, established after a lawsuit by 24 families seeking justice for unresolved crimes, aims to determine why nearly all cases remain unprosecuted after 27 years, focusing on political and systemic obstacles.
The commission will not re-examine TRC proceedings or grant amnesty but will assess accountability and potential constitutional damages.
Oral arguments on Semenya’s recusal are set for November 26.
