Obituary | Adriaan Vlok | Only apartheid era cabinet minister to testify before the TRC

On August 1 2006 Vlok presented himself at the Union Buildings, where Chikane was former president Thabo Mbeki's chief of staff, to seek penitence for trying to have him murdered, though typically, he refused to accept personal responsibility.

In 1989 Vlok's policemen broke into Chikane's suitcase at Johannesburg airport where he'd checked in for a flight to Namibia and laced his underpants with a highly toxic insecticide which almost killed him. He admitted to signing letters of congratulation to police officers later accused of executions and using words such as “eliminate” to encourage action against political activists, but insisted he had no knowledge of the details of these operations and never ordered them to kill anyone.

Vlakplaas death squad commander Eugene de Kock wasn't having any of it when Vlok came to see him in jail, hoping he'd assuage his conscience.“No”, De Kock replied. “But you gave me a medal when I killed them.” In February 1988 he banned 17 extra parliamentary anti-apartheid organisations, including the United Democratic Front, National Education Crisis Committee, Release Mandela Campaign and Soweto Civic Association.

He was laughing that Zuma is going to jail

Hell toe

That one of the footwashing fame.
