Zuma and Mbeki's foundations seek Khampepe's recusal from the TRC Commission.

from Update@Noon · host SAfm

Former presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki have moved to have retired Justice Sisi Khampepe recused from chairing the TRC prosecutions inquiry, a move angering some victims' families. They cite alleged conflicts of interest linked to her past roles and question her impartiality. Khampepe rejects the claims. The commission has confirmed it received both applications, which will be heard together on 16 January, as families await long-delayed accountability for apartheid-era crimes. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane, whose sister Nokuthula Simelane was  murdered by apartheid security police in 1983.
