30 May 2017
Cape Town – A judge has been appointed to oversee the inquest that was reopened into the death of teacher and anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Timol, who died in police custody 45 years ago.
The Judge President of the South Gauteng High Court has appointed Judge Billy Mothle, the Ahmed Timol Family Trust and the Foundation for Human Rights (FHR) said on Tuesday.
The inquest will be held at the High Court between June 26 and June 30, and then resume between July 24 and August 4, and August 10 and 11.
"Our immediate priority is to have the apartheid era inquest finding of 'nobody to blame' reversed," said Timol’s nephew Imtiaz Ahmed Cajee.
