The former apartheid police officer who was charged with the murder of Ahmed Timol ‘saved’ by the grave
The NPA and the Hawks are allocating people and resources to investigate apartheid-era crimes that have gone unpunished, but not everyone is altogether happy about it.
The former apartheid security police officer’s attempt to use political interference as a reason not to stand trial for murder has failed
The former Security Branch officer is asking the SCA for a permanent stay of appeal in the prosecution of the murder of Ahmed Timol in 1971
The trade unionist was found hanged in his cell at the John Vorster Square police station in 1982
Doors have opened for the Timol, Simelane and Aggett families but doubts still linger about the NPA’s behaviour and culpability
João ‘Jan’ Rodrigues’ application for a stay of prosecution has been dismissed. He will stand trial for the 1971 murder of activist Ahmed Timol
Former truth and reconciliation commissioners are entering a court battle to see a former policeman prosecuted
Imtiaz Cajee, the nephew of murdered anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Timol, will recommend an inquiry to probe the capture of the NPA and SAPS
The Timol family wants to stop former Security Branch clerk Joao Rodrigues from being granted a permanent stay of prosecution
Families of slain activists are fighting against an apartheid-era cop’s attempt to avoid prosecution permanently
Tilana Stander says she has not spoken to her father for years but helped the Timol Foundation find him
Rodrigues had attempted to halt proceedings permanently
João Rodrigues, who is accused of murdering anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Timol in police custody in 1971, will stand trial in 2019
The NPA has, until now, failed to prosecute perpetrators who didn’t get amnesty from the TRC
Former apartheid cop Joao Rodrigues is yet to face trial for his alleged role in the death of Ahmed Timol 47 years ago
A pre-trial hearing into the torture and murder of anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Timol is set down for Tuesday
Rodrigues appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder and defeating the ends of justice
Almost 46 years since his death, the high court last year found that Timol died at the hands of apartheid security branch police while in detention
By disavowing a 46-year-old lie, the court offers a chance at justice for many more
Anti-apartheid activist, Ahmed Timol, who died in police custody 46 years ago did not commit suicide but was murdered by officers, the court ruled.
The Timol family believes Joao Rodrigues helped to orchestrate a cover-up of Timol’s death
Post-1994 political meddling, lack of will and lost evidence have stymied apartheid-era prosecutions
Who to believe: The apartheid cops or the doctors who say it wasn’t possible for the activist to jump?
