Report on apartheid delayed
The release of a report on corruption during the apartheid years has been postponed to Sunday. The report was compiled by the South African National Anti-Corruption Forum. The Forum was led by Public Service and Administration Minister Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi and investigated corruption from 1976 to 1994. Independent On Line says the report recommends that corruption allegedly committed during the apartheid regime be reinvestigated with the intention of prosecution. The forum wants, among others, probes of the Broederbond, the apartheid government under the rule of PW Botha and FW De Klerk and the SA Reserve Bank under the leadership of alleged Broederbond members Gerhard De Kock and Chris Stals.

In Cape Town, a member of the National Prosecuting Authority has complained of a lack of good investigators. Speaking at a conference commemorating the 10th anniversary of the birth of the TRC, Torie Pretorius told delegates that his unit lacked the capacity to proceed with the prosecutions of several apartheid-era perpetrators who failed to receive amnesty or who did not apply for amnesty. He added that the SA Police Service should appoint a multidisciplinary team to handle these investigations.
