Apartheid
Dr Wouter Basson, the former apartheid-era chemical weapons programme leader, is challenging the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) in court to drop long-standing misconduct charges against him. The 75-year-old cardiologist argues that the proceedings, stemming from his role in Project Coast, are unfair and prejudicial after decades of delays. The case is set for argument in February 2026 in the Gauteng Division of the High Court in Pretoria.

The Pietermaritzburg high court has ruled that ANC leader and Nobel laureate Chief Albert Luthuli was murdered by apartheid forces in 1967, overturning a flawed inquest that claimed his death was an accident. The judgment vindicates decades of family efforts and highlights systemic judicial manipulation under apartheid. It recommends further investigation into witness disappearances.
