De Klerk to be charged for crimes against black people

A little-known anti-racism group says that it will be laying 22 criminal charges against former president, FW de Klerk.

FORMER South African president, FW de Klerk, and Adriaan Vlok, former Minister of Law and Order during the Apartheid regime, will face 22 criminal charges ‘for crimes committed against black people for which they didn’t get amnesty’.

A new grouping has announced that it will lodge criminal charges against the former president. The Anti-Racism Action Forum (ARAF), which will be launched on the stairs of Hillbrow Police Station tomorrow, intends to lay charges against De Klerk, who in 1993, with Nelson Mandela, were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their work in ending Apartheid.

“ARAF is a campaign against racism by anti-racist civil society organisations, political parties, revolutionary movements and individuals. ARAF shall lay 22 criminal charges against both FW De Klerk and Adrian Vlok for crimes committed against black people for which they didn’t get amnesty at the TRC. Further complaints of racism will be laid against FW De Klerk at the South African Human Rights Commission,” Zandi Radebe, spokesperson for the organisation, said.
