  "summary": "Former South African President Thabo Mbeki is set to appear before the TRC Cases Inquiry on Monday and Tuesday to address allegations of an informal agreement between the ANC and apartheid-era generals to avoid prosecutions. The inquiry comes following claims made by witnesses such as former TRC Commissioner Ndumisa Ntsebeza, former National Prosecuting Authority Director Anton Ackerman, and businessman Jurgen Kogl. Kogl has rejected these claims, stating that he could not find any evidence of an informal document discussing non-prosecution in any negotiation. The inquiry will provide further insight into the claims made during the TRC process.",
