Apartheid hero's justice: Imam Haron's case to be finally heard in a free court

Since an apartheid court ruled his death was of natural causes, the death of one of South Africa's seminal anti-apartheid activists Imam Abdullah Haron will finally be heard in a democratic court.

How free is this court if it's taken decades for the case to get there?

Sad and I was wondering about that as well. Also, I don't see what they can find after all these years. We can't even convict fresh criminals successfully or they get miraculously terminally ill if they do get sentenced

Everybody involved are probably long dead by now as well (53yrs later). Who's gonna testify etc, everything will be hearsay or speculation at best. This sounds more like a show than anything else.

Weren't courts free between 1994-2022 under ANC rule, at least? I know they were free, if you had a case, before 1994.

It's about family honour. Same as the Timol case. Nothing to do with justice or free courts. It's a shame on the family if someone commits suicide in the Islamic community. Hence the reopening of these cases to regain family honour by getting them declared killed by the apartheid government.
