Seven years of meetings aimed at dealing with prosecutions related to TRC Cases fell apart in 2003

The TRC Cases Inquiry public hearings continue today and  veteran investigative journalist Michael Schmidt and author of DEATH FLIGHT, apartheid's secret doctrine of disappearance,  is on witness stand. Schmidt says that Senior SADF Officer Dirk Marais told him that seven years of meetings aimed at dealing with prosecutions related to TRC Cases, fell apart in 2003 after reaching a stalemate. The inquiry was established by President Cyril Ramaphosa to determine whether attempts were made to prevent the investigation and prosecution of apartheid-era crimes.
