LIVE | Former NPA senior prosecutor takes the stand in TRC Inquiry

JOHANNESBURG – The TRC Cases Inquiry resumes in Johannesburg.

Former NPA senior prosecutor Advocate Anton Ackermann will be cross-examined.

He previously headed the Priority Crimes Litigation Unit and has given evidence on alleged political interference in the investigation and prosecution of apartheid-era crimes.

Representatives from the Justice Department, South African Police Service, and Advocate Menzi Simelane are expected to cross-examine him.

The inquiry, chaired by retired Justice Sisi Khampepe, is probing claims of attempts to halt or delay TRC-related prosecutions over many years.
