The former law and order minister, who oversaw a brutal police crackdown on opponents of white rule,"passed away early this morning in the Unitas Hospital in Centurion, after a short illness," a family spokesman said in a statement.
In 2007, Adriaan Vlok was given a 10-year suspended sentence for attempting to murder a prominent opposition figure. "I feel ashamed of many things I have done," he said at his sentencing, admitting that his commitment to the racist regime was"a mistake." His detractors insisted it was a crude stunt to avoid revealing the extent of the abuses committed by the police.
