Hello, can I speak to Casper Venter? // Mister Venter is not here at the moment can I ask him to call you back? // Under the present law those who committed political crimes during apartheid are protected by a blanket amnesty. The ANC is prepared to have an amnesty only as long as all crimes are investigated and disclosed. I had been trying for three weeks to get an interview with a senior government minister to ask their view. // Hello is Frik le Roux available? // Speaking. // Oh hello, it’s Jann Turner. // Hello, good morning. // How are you? // Fine and you? // Good, I was just checking in to see if you got my fax and if there was any response. // No … which fax? // Hello is that Craig? Hello it’s Jann Turner. // Hello Jann. How are you? // Fine thank you. Just checking in to see if you got any news on the interview. // Yes I have, but it’s bad news. Mr. Le Roux will not be able to make it. // Is there a reason why? // Well, they are not going to be available. // So it’s a scheduling problem. // Well, I don’t know. Probably. // When questioned recently in Parliament Justice Minister Kobie Coetzee said that my father’s killer could be protected by the amnesty. When asked why he wouldn’t meet with me he said he had no idea that I was even in the country. I got a warmer reception from the man who is likely to be the next president of South Africa.
