Decades after apartheid, South Africans still seek justice for past crimes
More than three decades after apartheid ended, families of victims of some of South Africa's worst past crimes are still fighting for justice. A new wave of legal efforts seeks truth, accountability and reparations while survivors and perpetrators are still alive.
In South Africa, families of people harmed by some of the worst crimes of the apartheid era are still pursuing justice. Apartheid was the country's system of official racial segregation, and it ended more than three decades ago.
According to NPR, a new wave of legal efforts is now under way. Its aims are to establish the truth, hold those responsible to account and secure reparations for victims' families.
Time is a key factor. Both survivors and perpetrators are growing older, so families and those backing them are trying to achieve results before it is too late.
