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.

Not sure if this oke was any worse than the current bunch of politicians, who are perpetrating black-on-black violence & murder on a scale that makes apartheid killers look like compassionate humans in comparison.....
Very sad news.
Tsek🤷🏿♂️
So many bitter people, it makes me laugh. He is dead he couldn't care about your bitterness. I can tell you 1 thing, though he was racist as he'll BUT in our townships there was law and order. We were safe. Celebrate his death or mourn how we have deteriorated under our freedom.
Ibisaphila lenja iphuzile ukufa
At least his children knew him.
Who cares?
GOOD!
Bitbull has died ,lekker
I would like to know how was crime levels during his time in charge and now when we are in freedom? Anyone please tell me. If crime was this high during Adriaa Vlok time then he was a bad man ,let him go.....lol

That gamors killed many people as Minister of Law and order. He took out orders and his police listened unlike this celebrity called Cele, who knows nothing except to pose for cameras like a high boy ...watch as the ANC government gives hima State funeral.
U will hear that this thing will get a state or provicial funeral under anc government
Thanks God
I was shot by his police force while fighting apartheid. RIP. He has karma to answer for.

Criminals against humanity. The law protected them because of the colour of their skin.
Good riddance, sorry I meant RIP
Law and order has the country with him.
The damage he and his government brought on the people of South Africa can never be quantified. Guilty of crimes against humanity.
He can go straight where he has been refusing to go all this years, HELL
May his soul rest in hell
I wish this can happen each and every day if not an hour
Good riddance!
Good Riddance to Rubbish

There’s much to learn from the real defeaters of apartheidMany mistakenly think the armed struggle brought it to its knees, but it was ordinary people’s efforts that resulted in its demise, writes Imraan Buccus. The word 'mistakenly' should be withdrawn. These elements of resistance were not in opposition. They were complimentary and United. Other factors both internal and external played a part . The body of resistance was a whole. Imraan is divisive in nitpicking which part was supreme No truer words have been spoken. It was the resistance of the black, coloured, indians and whites that did the work. It will be us again that bring down this corrupt incompetent ANC. I think it was more the sanctions. The rabble rousers were getting absolutely nowhere.
