Eugene de Kock, a notorious apartheid-era police commander known as "Prime Evil," testified on Monday at an inquiry in Gqeberha into the 1985 killings of the Cradock Four activists. De Kock, who was released on parole in 2015 after serving time for murder and other crimes, denied direct involvement in the Cradock Four case but stated that police at the time maintained lists of "known terrorists" who should be killed if not arrested. He revealed that one implicated officer asked him for assistance in a cover-up, including obtaining another firearm and interfering with ballistics. This testimony comes as South Africa renews its focus on unpunished apartheid atrocities, with previous inquiries into the Cradock Four case widely suspected of being cover-ups.
