TRC RECOMMENDS PROSECUTIONS

THE Truth and Reconciliation Commission has issued a statement clarifying the nature of the “prosecution list” it has reportedly handed to National Director of Prosecutions Bulelani Ngcuka. The TRC said that it has met with Ngcuka to plan the “fulfillment of the recommendations of the TRC in its final report”. It said that many of the names on the list are already mentioned in the TRC final report, but that they will remain confidential, and will not be disclosed to the media. The commission denied that there has been any special mention of General Magnus Malan in this context, as has been speculated.
