Businessman reveals role in secret post-TRC talks between apartheid generals and ANC

Jürgen Kögl, a Namibian-born businessman, disclosed that he facilitated secret meetings between former apartheid-era generals and the ANC government from 1998 to 2004, aimed at negotiating post-Truth and Reconciliation Commission prosecutions. The revelation adds new detail to a previously undisclosed backchannel, though the full scope and outcomes of these talks remain unclear. This matters as it could influence ongoing debates about transitional justice and accountability in South Africa.
