South Africa Begins New Inquest into 1985 Cradock Four Killings

In Lesotho, the judiciary has ordered a restart of numerous cases previously heard by retired justices, sparking outrage among litigants who have endured years of emotional and financial strain waiting for justice. This directive forces many to relitigate after long delays, which has been described as a profound betrayal and a crushing blow to those affected. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, the Neem Foundation and Global Survivors Fund have called for a holistic educational approach to support survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and their children, emphasizing trauma-responsive education and psychosocial care as critical for reparation. In South Africa, families of the apartheid-era 'Cradock Four' activists continue to seek accountability, criticizing the apartheid-era justice system for failing to prosecute perpetrators despite evidence of targeted political killings. These cases underscore ongoing struggles with justice and reparations in African nations, highlighting the need for systemic reforms and comprehensive support for victims of historical and ongoing injustices.
