National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi said there probably wouldn't be prosecutions for many of the cases of apartheid-era crimes stemming from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

Cape Town - The net is closing on those who were found by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) on the wrong side of the law in the affairs of the Office of the Master of the High Court.
The Office of the Master of the High Court is the subject of an SIU investigation after President Cyril Ramaphosa authorised the corruption-busting body to probe allegations of maladministration, corruption and fraud in its country-wide offices.
In February 2020, the offices of the Master of the High Court were closed for at least two days to enable the SIU to gather, collate and retrieve information without any hindrance.
