Former Deputy Director General and head of the branch, Legislative and Constitutional Development Department Trevor Rudman, appeared before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) inquiry, chaired by retired Justice Sisi Khampepe.
Advocate Trevor Rudman has shed light on his tenure as the Deputy Director General and head of the Legislative and Constitutional Development Department during proceedings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Cases Inquiry.
Following the testimony that was provided by former National Prosecutions Authority head Mxolisi Nxasana, Rudman on Thursday firmly denied having witnessed any coordinated efforts to derail investigations related to the TRC. Rudman was quizzed on some of the developments that took place during his time as chairperson of the Amnesty Task Team (ATT) in 2003.
In his statement, which was read before the commission probing allegations of political interference with the investigations into TRC-related matters, Rudman indicated that as chairperson of the ATT in 2003, his job was to plan and lead various meetings and oversee the direction of some of these meetings.
Rudman, whose career spans more than four decades, having taken up his position as head of the Legislative and Constitutional Development Department in 1982 all the way to 2001, indicated that due to the passage of time, it would be hard to recollect some of the events with clear details.
