Die Minister van Justisie en Korrektiewe Dienste, Michael Masutha, sal na verwagting vanoggend aankondig of die voormalige bevelvoerder van Vlakplaas, Eugene de Kock, op parool vrygelaat gaan word.<\/p>\n
De Kock het die Noord-Gautengse Hooggeregshof in Pretoria in Mei genader oor ‘n besluit in di\u00e9 verband, het RSG berig.<\/p>\n
Die Nasionale raad oor Korrektiewe Dienste het ‘n aanbeveling daaroor in November verlede jaar gemaak.<\/p>\n
Die aanbeveling is na die destydse minister, S’bu Ndebele gestuur, maar dit was onsuksesvol. De Kock het hom daarna tot die hof gewend.<\/p>\n
Hy is in 1996 twee keer lewenslange gevangenisstraf en nog 212 jaar opgel\u00ea.<\/p>\n
Intussen word uitsluitsel oor\u00a0die mediese paroolaansoek van Clive Derby-Lewis ook met spanning afgewag.<\/p>\n
Derby-Lewis\u00a0is skuldig bevind aan\u00a0die sluipmoord op die kommunis Chris Hani.<\/p>\n
Sy vrou, Gaye Derby-Lewis het Woensdag onderstaande brief aan die Business Day gerig ivm met sy vrylating:<\/p>\n
I REFER to your report, “Derby-Lewis should not be freed \u2014 SACP” (July 4).<\/p>\n
This comment has appeared with regularity for 20 years, gaining momentum after Clive Derby-Lewis\u2019s truth commission hearing in 1997-98. Each time, our family has called on the South African Communist Party (SACP) to produce the evidence of the “wider conspiracy”, which lie they spread with impunity. Nothing is ever forthcoming. Despite calls by the Young Communist League to reopen the Chris Hani (pictured) case in 2006, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) declined, saying that even when the case was before the truth commission, “various (commission) organs could not establish new facts around Mr Hani\u2019s murder”.<\/p>\n
Derby-Lewis was recommended for parole by the Parole Board in 2007, for release in October 2008. The latter date came and went. We took the case to court and lost on spurious grounds. He was recommended twice more, and each time was refused by the minister at the time.<\/p>\n
Early this year, I asked the police to reopen the case. I asked them to question Blade Nzimande, Jeremy Cronin and other SACP members who are still declaring there is a wider conspiracy. They did nothing \u2014 too scared, I believe, to question the untouchables. I\u2019m now asking the NPA to take action. If these people continue to talk about a conspiracy when clearly there is none, they are guilty of obstruction of justice as it is this lie that has gone a long way to precluding Derby-Lewis from obtaining parole.<\/p>\n
We will wait and see whether the NPA has the guts to confront these charlatans from the piggyback party.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
