Few security police files found

THURSDAY, 5.30PM:

SAFETY and Security Minister Sydney Mufamadi said on Thuersday that a small number od security police files have been uncovered by the government commission appointed to investigate the destruction of files compiled between 1960 and 1994.

Also discovered were documents indicating which files had been destroyed, Mufamadi said.

Neither the list nor the unearthed files will be immediately released to the public so as not to undermine the continuing investigation, which began in March and has so far focused on Gauteng, the Eastern Cape, the Western Cape and Northern Province.
