Bheki Cele backs compensation for apartheid-era victims’ families
Cele was testifying on day 79 of the public hearings of the TRC Cases Inquiry in Newtown.
Former Police Minister and National Commissioner Bheki Cele has unequivocally expressed his support for providing financial compensation to families of apartheid-era human rights victims. Testifying during Day 79 of the TRC Cases Inquiry in Newtown, Johannesburg, chaired by Justice Sisi Khampepe, Cele emphasized the urgent need to address the wrongs committed against anti-apartheid activists, such as Sbho Phewa and Ntombi Kubeka, who were murdered in 1987.
He stated that the list of these victims should not be subject to debate, but instead confirmed, as it is the right thing to do. The inquiry, which aims to determine if there were efforts to obstruct prosecutions and recommend potential constitutional damages, heard Cele's testimony on this critical issue.
