Justice Minister Kubayi: Govt hasn’t been deliberately trying to delay Cradock Four inquest! Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi said that the government had not been deliberately trying to delay the inquest into the deaths of the Cradock Four.

The reopened inquest got underway in the Gqeberha High Court on Monday, with Kubayi, Eastern Cape African National Congress (ANC) members, and members of the Cradock community in attendance.

The proceedings are to establish whether security police or other persons can be held liable for the deaths of the anti-apartheid activists.

Last week, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a proclamation for the establishment of a judicial commission of inquiry to determine whether attempts were made to prevent the investigation and prosecution of apartheid-era crimes.

Kubayi said the commission should be allowed to do its work.

“From where we are sitting as the state, there hasn’t been any deliberate delays in prosecuting or even bringing the cases that relate to apartheid crimes into court.

“There are many that have been brought, there are many that have been reported on, there are many inquests that are opened, and there are many prosecutions that are proceeding.”
