TRC Roulette: Khampepe probe — Selebi ordered TRC files sealed, says ‘master file’ keeper Louis Bester

Resumen del corpus

Louis Bester, custodian of the master TRC file, testified before the Khampepe Commission regarding delays in trials. He maintained his role was strictly limited to safeguarding official documents and ensuring forensic analysis of a disputed memorandum allegedly altered to suggest prosecutors planned to arrest high-ranking ANC officials, including Thabo Mbeki. Bester refuted claims of personal agenda, asserting his involvement was administrative and that he was not authorized to investigate ANC 37 cases.
