'The President is both player and referee’: Families fight Ramaphosa’s attempt to delay apartheid justice case

The Pretoria High Court will on Wednesday hear an application brought by President Cyril Ramaphosa and the government seeking to reinstate their opposition in the constitutional damages case.

The case, filed by 25 families and survivors of apartheid-era gross human rights violations, seeks accountability for political interference in the prosecution of crimes recommended by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

IOL previously reported that the families of victims who forcibly disappeared or killed during apartheid, supported by the Foundation for Human Rights (FHR), filed an application against Ramaphosa and the government earlier this year.
