A long-overdue reckoning with justice - that's how South Africa's (SA) retired Constitutional Court Judge Justice Sisi Khampepe has described the mandate of the newly launched Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of Efforts to Block the Investigation and Prosecution of Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Cases.

Speaking at a media briefing held at the Hector Pietersen Memorial Site in Orlando, Soweto, Justice Khampepe revealed that despite more than two decades having passed, very little progress has been made in holding perpetrators accountable - with 23 families now alleging political interference in pending High Court proceedings.
