Lukhanyo Calata has resorted to the courts to compel the Hawks to finalise their investigation into the 1985 murders of his father Fort Calata, as well as Matthew Goniwe, Sicelo Mhlauli and Sparrow Mkonto, who are also known as the Cradock Four

.

None of them applied for amnesty with regard to the Cradock Four murders, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission never asked any of them about their alleged involvement in events that led to the murders. This was despite evidence presented during the 1994 inquest into the deaths that Judge Neville Zietsman chaired, as well as subsequent evidence given by eight former security force members who applied for and were mostly denied amnesty by the TRC.

Calata says the missing docket and the obstruction of his attempts to open a case of theft with the SAPS to investigate it are yet another sign of possible interference by government officials in the prosecution of the TRC cases. “The post-apartheid era of cover-ups, ineptitude and denial of justice stands as a deep betrayal of the ultimate sacrifices made by my father and his comrades. It adds insult to injury and bitterly exacerbates the emotional and psychological trauma, pain and suffering we have endured as families.

In the case of the Cradock Four, a military signal sent on June 7 1985 from the Eastern Cape command to the SSC links the murderous actions of the regional Security Branch to the very top of the apartheid command chain. It proposed that Goniwe, his nephew Mbulelo and Fort Calata, “as a matter of urgency, be permanently removed from society”.
