Please see statement from Cradock Four families on the decision by Justice Minister Ronald Lamola to reopen the inquest into the murders of Fort Calata, Matthew Goniwe, Sparrow Mkonto and Sicelo Mhlauli.
Nothing “huge” here. Govt playing politics. Long ago, Pikoli sought to pursue killers of Cradock4 but was stoped by Justice Min Mabandla. Most of them are now dead. Pikoli lost job even after he was found FIT for job after Mbeki did what ANC does with NDPPs not towing its line

And on the subject of Mhlauli, remember this photograph is not of the Cradock Four. While these for men were on the apartheid regimes hit list. Only two here (Calata and Goniwe on the right and far right) were murdered on 27 June 1985.
