## Resource

A detective with 25 years on the force is caught in a decades-old justice puzzle as a commission probes apartheid-era crimes — specifically, the 1981 murder of activist Joe Gqabi. Witness Shadrack Ganda claims he was misled about access to declassified SSA files, but detective Magezi Sewele insists it was just bureaucratic delay, not deception — and that sensitive info simply can’t be shared. With the SSA holding key pieces but moving slowly, the case underscores how tangled bureaucracy and buried secrets can stall truth for victims’ families, even 40 years later.
