The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal says it is disappointed with a Pietermaritzburg High Court ruling that dismisses calls for further investigation into the 1981 murder of human rights activist Griffiths Mxenge. The party argues that the families of apartheid-era victims “deserve closure” and continue to seek answers and justice regarding the killing. According to the account, the High Court decision results in an end to the specific request for additional inquiry at this stage, prompting political and community reaction from those who believe crucial questions remain unanswered. ANC KZN’s response frames the case as part of a broader effort to ensure accountability for apartheid-era crimes and to address the concerns of surviving relatives. The report presents the ANC’s position as a rejection of the ruling, while noting that the families’ search for closure continues following the court’s dismissal. The information provided does not include detailed reasoning from the court or the exact procedural basis for the dismissal.
