South Africa probes four anti-apartheid activists’ murder

South Africa’s justice ministry said Friday it will re-open an inquiry into the murder of four anti-apartheid activists which became one of the era’s most notorious crimes but remains unsolved nearly four decades on.

The so-called Cradock Four were abducted and murdered while returning home to the southern town of Cradock in June 1985 after a meeting.

The bodies of the four — Matthew Goniwe, Sparrow Mkonto, Fort Calata and Sicelo Mhlauli — were discovered days later, badly burnt and with multiple stab wounds.

The security forces under the apartheid regime were suspected of being behind the killings. But no one has been brought to justice.
