Former apartheid-era law and order minister Adriaan Vlok died in hospital during the early hours of Sunday.

Family spokesperson Peet Bothma said in a statement 85-year-old Vlok was admitted to the Unitas Hospital in Centurion.

“He is survived by his wife Antoinette, three children, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.”According to the Restorative Justice Centre, Vlok was minister of law and order from 1986 to 1991, during the final years of apartheid. “In 1999, Vlok was granted amnesty by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission — the sole cabinet minister to have admitted committing crimes, including the bombing of the headquarters of the South African Council of Churches at Khotso House, and the Cosatu trade union headquarters.

“In a dramatic gesture, he washed the feet of Frank Chikane who, as secretary-general of the South African Council of Churches, had been targeted by Vlok for assassination. Subsequently, he washed the feet of the ten widows and mothers of the 'Mamelodi 10', a group of anti-apartheid activists who had been lured to their death by a police informant,” the centre stated on its website.

CyrilRamaphosa will send condolences

He dies without freely making available all the apartheid information , his spies network and names of those who worked with him.

Hell has a new resident.

I thought he was already gone,, will he be receiving a state funeral?

Condolences to thuli madonsela

Ronald Lamola's predecessor

Left without confessing to his deeds and current regime remained silent

Hare daar

Satan is calling his beloved one by one.....

Most of you all just comment without knowing his history. I guess you are the young one who doesn't really know the history.

He dies without paying for his sins 😪

Kante die man ontse a tshela all along?

1st was de klerk, now dis one. Okay we are going somewhere as a country, keep 'em coming...

No one lives forever

We really don't care.

Condolences. He is sorely missed.

REST IN PISS

On humanitarian level,may his soul rest in peace! He may have publicly washed some apartheid victims' feet and offered public apologies for the heinous deeds of the system he was once upheld. The damage it created will take several centuries to completely eradicate from memory!

May his soul found no peace

Danko yahamb'inja.

Good riddance
