tortured and murdered its opponents. controversially, many of those crimes went on punished in the years of reconciliation that followed . but the families of victims have never given up hopes of justice. this is the remarkable story of one man's breath i to hold his father's killer to account i. it's late at night till the 27th of june, 1985 in a remote region of apartheid. south africa, 4 young activists returning home to credit the tiny town on the eastern cape of level if they followed by security police forces off the road and abducted with they'll never be seen alive again. 36 years later, the families of these men still wait for the murderers and those who ordered the deaths to be brought to justice. my father for taylor metter guarantee your spot on the corner, incidentally, folly that were killed in 1085. these files here, ah, apartheid, basically documents it proves beyond any shadow of a doctor that my father was killed by, by the appropriate government or the deaths of the credit for as they came to be known, cause local and international outrage. 60000 people attended the funeral. they hadn't expected that the revolution would actually come from the middle of the crew . in a small town like this theory, the anger would sprayed the state, clamped down on black south africans. the government banged the funeral. and this is my 1st memory of my dad, then it's the funeral. so later that afternoon, the government then became a state of emergency. the apartheid state didn't, however, find any one culpable of the motives of the credit for but a decade later, off to white rule came to an end. a truce commission was set up to him to get crimes like these. it was dub the t r c. the monday a lotta. the conyers mother was one of the 1st to testify at the t r. c. and i was think 20 at the time and i couldn't handle this. so i was thinking too lengthy, rollins and when i. 2 me was crying terribly. the testimony of victims may are soon followed by that of perpetrators. one of them was the man who personally killed fought clatter. eric taylor, a former security policeman. i hit mr. carter from behind this he b. i'm chick. approximate the way the head to join the make year old was who fell to the ground versus what i was under the impression that he was on the conditions on the what then the other black men raised tab team with knives. i was 3 years old. you know, my mother was pregnant, but for little girl, my older sister was 9 years old. my mother was 26. my father was twin and are a shockingly foot kilometers. murder is just one of hundreds from the parted era that have yet to be prosecuted. the question is, was just want to pull was the intelligence con, how it vonny human rights lawyer has been pursuing these cases for decades. a t r c handed over a list of some 400 cases. as far back as the late 19 nineties and next to nothing has happened since those those families of course have been pushing for answers, particularly in cases where amnesty was denied. mr. taylor have a look at paragraph for iraq. taylor was one of those who was denied amnesty in part because he wouldn't reveal who had given him his orders. if this is through a pack of lies headpiece has been told to this committee, but the state chose not to prosecute men like eric taylor in all those above him. they chose not to because a political decision was taken at the highest political level post 2002. and that decision was there will be no justice in any of these cases. or prosecutors and police investigators were instructed to simply don tools. but connie has been seeking justice for his father's death since the t r. c's work ended back in 2003. those attempts have been swatted at every turn. the credit for is a case in point. the investigation docket disappeared out of the offices of the national prosecuting authority, but typically with a docket disappears, we know why it disappeared. it's because somebody doesn't want to see justice done in that case. and the fact that it has disappeared from the headquarters of the national prosecutor authority is deeply alarming. and yet we see no alarm being expressed by the national prosecuting authority. we had come to the cape town, central police station, obviously to come and open a charge of theft against the national prosecuting authority. when mister carlotta tried to open up a case he was ignored for more than a year. he begged the investigating officers to look into why that docket was removed and has never been found. once we came here, we were then told that we can't really open the case. we had to route to the commission of police and said that if you want to open up a docket, we'll see you in court. finally, after intervention from our lawyers, and from the office of the commissioner and the minister, we were at least able to open the case. if i looked at the little progress that has been made over the last few years, it's only been by because the families have made an effort. but because the police have decided to take up the cases, we not having any luck with the national prosecuting authority. despite on many requests, but neither the prosecuting authority or the department of justice granted us into views. what evidence concrete evidence do you have that there was high level political interference? well, the concrete evidence comes from picola himself. foresee mccaulhey was the head of south africa's national prosecuting authority, also known as the mpa from 2005 to 2007. the direct interference that, that, that i experienced was when the minister period, and she thought that to win with proceeding with the prosecution's british mate bandler was the minister of justice at the time she declined to be interviewed. but in a statement said that the call his claim in relation to my service is untrue. the prosecutions in question were against 2 senior partied officials, audrey, i'm flock, former minister of law, and order, and your hon from the murtha. former commissioner of police. they were accused of the attempted murder of reverend frank to connie, a high profile, enter your party activist, your under pressure from the government to give light sentences for the attempted murder of river french academy. no, and in the prison for licenses that was under plaza, nor to even go ahead with the case is f. that's the pressure that they said they got to what tennis is tennis. and this is why was it a pressure on you not to pursue these cases? from the n c government was the fellow yes. there was a fear within the prosecuting, but the general would also mean members of the sea are still being prosecuted. the liberation front, even though they fight for just cause happen was gross human rights violations only bobbins or the german lawyer and legal researcher investigation. why after the t or c ended prosecutions have stolen, c, n c abroad have the structure of the national if you'd be very high ranking official, all the zoom are all very strong evidence for drawing a direct line from all the instructions given by the nbc. there was a lead biker paying, for instance, in the eighty's, the liberation plans that left mine on streets. obviously a lot of civilian died from that. so there was a church trip bond in there for, for aria in the eighty's, which was also directly instructed by the c. 19 died and $217.00 were wounded. many of them civilians then prevents a told us just how much influence the former party establishment still wielded in the new south africa. ready lawyer acting on all the accused in this column, i made a direct call to contract with them. that lawyer is young wagner, a former state attorney for the old regime whose sons represented many former parties security forces. all of the whole prosecution was suspended today. the security police side was able to pressure the suspension by using information they had to proceed on crimes committed by the liberation movement and use this as a very good tool. pressure with government team would want that case to go ahead. it even been able to get it back and it was a big struggle. the least that we able to do was to make sure that their own to have criminal court that such as the best that it, that you could do under the circumstances in 2007 full can from the murder both received suspended sentences. since then, there will be no further reporting or a prosecution of the security policy to even collect her investigation docket most against the ac, preparing cases. i asked a question to look at the government at work and me lay some of these things on for you. yeah, this official reluctance to prosecute the crimes of the past has left the pursuit of justice in the hands of ordinary citizens like the canoe and the over the years he's accumulated a mountain of evidence for which implicates not just the trigger polars, but also those who gave them their orders. one of them says laconia was odd, young flock, the man prosecuted by the kole. on the 5th of june i then flung is it takes a drive to where, where we stayed. and my mom remembers thinking, oh, that's flock because she was looking at him through the window on the 6th of june, flock chad, a meeting of the eastern province joint management center. and then on the 7th of june, this militaristic is sent to the state security council. this signal recommends the permanent removal from society of mythical anywhere. bullard good neighbor and fort collab permanently removed from society. for decades, the party officials have steadfastly denied that the use of this phrase was in order to kill the spite of 1999 judicial inquiry concluding that amounted to a death warrant or sanctioned. at the highest level, we interviewed our gym flock, who's known as eighty's. we asked him if he was involved in planning the killings of the credit for i really had no authority to do these sort of things. i, i went to do to these areas. i asked the security forces to give me a briefing, what is going on, what is the situation? but i could not give them instructions to kill people. my authority says as far as, as i said, locked them up. but later in the interview, that flock made a startling admission. there was definitely an order that found its way into the state security council saying there must be permanently removed from society. what does that mean to remove a persian from the society? or you know, we, we, in the, in is just a security council. we are very careful not to tell, not to say and to, to make a note and 2, as in the, in a minute to kill anybody. so we would say a, if we move a persian from the society at a movie, and you know it never, nobody said killing. but we've, i, i thought it probably, it was meant if you can't solve the problem by the moving the guy, then you could kill if you thought that then not, not conscious. but afterwards thinking back, i must admit that i realized as was a possibility. none of these things would have escaped some one like former president, f. w, declare there was actual proof of his attendance to some of those states occurred to cancel meetings. if w to clerk was south africa's last white president, his foundation didn't respond to our interview requests. to make it clear, but he's previously strenuously denied allegations that he sanctioned or knew about any political murders. i have never been thought of any decision taken by cabinet. the state security council, or any comedy authorizing or instructing the commission of such gross violations of human rights. but without actual prosecutions. the full truth behind such killings when never come to light of what has come to light though, is that the ac government and its a partied era counterparts held secretly go she ations intended to ensure that such prosecutions would never happen. the talk started off the main part of the 1998 until about 2003 on the title of the police. i spoke with a ball on national commission on maga. even s w, declare act on behalf of the police, the frame as flaw on the side of the gun. irish officially, among other becky, vice president, president, adf, general. they engaged in haul starting tomorrow. there was a great interest off the government to avoid trials. this requires quite differently. they put together a team of people who call the amnesty tossed him secret body. well, they are talking to classified secret. and this amnesty toss team was given the following direction. come up with recommendations to somehow guarantee impunity for people on all sides. the secret amnesty arrangement might well have succeeded. if vonnie and other human rights lawyers hadn't intervened we. we opposed most of those applications on the basis that it was held secretly until we picked up the 1st we didn't even know he was applying victims themselves. couldn't make any representations, but in the face of mounting legal pressure applied of decades, the m p a might now finally be forced to act. we have had to apply pressure, constant pressure. today i'm happy to report that the office of the deputy public prosecutor is now guiding the investigation into the motors of the credit for which to de la conyers. joining a call with the directorate for priority crime investigations with the pci and you to clear out was speaking nice cliff in marian, who's the lead investigator that was appointed by the foundation for human rights. that's the human rights organization representing look on your and his family. the murder dock, it's been shell for so long that marian must now re brief. stayed investigators about the own case with on a low alive with a lot. but when we tried to track down eric taylor, why his son, we unearth some bad news. dear old and i'm a reporter with al jazeera and we would love to talk to eric and wondered if you could put us in touch with my father or brother your father. so he passed away in november 2016. that's from eldon taylor. facebook. every taylor's profile is still active. about a year before his death, it shows him cradling what looks like his grandchild. and it looks like he's smiling. and someone says, look like a father that knows about changing that he's making a bottle in. but i can your child's wind get it. my son knows absolutely nothing about his grandfather. i struggle to raise my son today. there's been many days when i have no clue as to whether what i'm doing in raising my son, whether i'm doing the right thing as a father. because this bastard here took my father away from me. dr. is holding his grandson or his grandchild. eric taylor. and the blue one that had anything to do with my father's death, they'll must all be investigated, they must be prosecuted, and they must all be convicted for taking my father away from me. thank you right after all that's transpired. laconia decides it's time for him to travel back to credit his childhood home. it's back there that his family's history and that of the i n. c. a deeply entwined his great grandfather, james, author. carlotta was an agency luminary in 1936. he was elected secretary general with in the african national congress. by the time he handed over power in 1949 and they and see was in such good standing that they could been kick off the defiance campaigns of the 1950s. when you, on our way to credit, to go and update my mother, there's some activities that are beginning to show progress. hello, how are you? i'm on. i can move. this is some progress. it's been so long, but it's just something that a can't work out in get peace with can be until the day. i know i'm hoping that the in then i will made it to myself again that lead in my life. like in your mind when i, when i had a meeting and then we'll get an update from from the hawks again to see how far they've gotten with the investigation then. and then we'll see in the morning the family was at faults, grave. the news of taylor's death has affected them deeply. if we could have eric taylor ending day, telling the old truth about what happened that evening. that alone could have made me another person would have changed my life. would it take me out of to chris in the morning that doesn't stop within me when the agency came into power were really having a beak hope that teams is going to change. but unfortunately, it's so painful, and i don't even think they know who the credit for this. we asked the agency to address this issue of delay prosecutions. why is that taken? so it's, it's, you know, there's no reason there's no explanation for that. it could have been lack of focus, it could have been bad planning. not being privatized properly. christian, i do. the agency lawyer we interviewed, denied any knowledge of a secret amnesty arrangement. i mother, we have any agreement regarding non prosecution or perpetrators of a party. there are crimes, some methods would have slipped through the cracks and this would have been one of them. i presume he also told us that the agency has now, after 18 years, recently started supporting prosecution agencies. now fully on board we, we've worked since last year. we doing about 5, we're looking at investigating 5 matters at the moment in 3 different provinces. we hoping to move that along to about 15 this year on his final day and credit. look on your visits for the 1st time. a memorial set up in honor of the credit for this is really so heartbreaking. letters are missing. so it's b. w. good. anyway. i've been her own, quinton, and a long, chloe way. where are the rest of the letters? we are the rest of the names. what is this and why is it laying here? i mean, why is it lane? yeah. you know, we told day and see we told them that we could not trust them. we told them that we could not entrust. i'll father's legacy to them. i honestly, i didn't think it would look very bad. can i? can your khaleta has an uphill battle. it's always difficult to to investigate a case. that is decor told because witnesses have died. suspects have died, memories fade, and so much cover up has taken place. but laconia remains resolute. the legacy of the criminal always is so much more than just power for us is more about, are nearing their lives in the legacies of people who gave their lives for us to be free, so long as families one just has to be done. then just as needs to be done, because the rights of, of those families need to be vindicated. and not a question about just letting bygones be bygones. if we are happy to, to lead to several 100 murders, to be swept under the carpet. and what's to say that we wouldn't be happy to do that again in the future. ah ah. we understand the
