CAPE TOWN - At least 59% of South Africans believe perpetrators of apartheid-era human rights abuses should still be prosecuted.
Twenty-one percent disagreed, 18% are undecided and 2% refused to comment.
This is according to the latest South African Reconciliation Barometer (SARB) by the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR).
The country’s longest-running survey also found trust in political leaders remains extremely low.
Over half agreed that Broad-Based BEE has gone far enough and should be phased out.

Kate Lefko-Everett from the South African Reconciliation Barometer says the study touches on many different aspects of democracy, racial recognition and the transition.
Some of the key findings, she says, are that levels of confidence and trust in public institutions remain relatively low.
Other experts also say the decline in the global trust in political leaders is increasingly linked to how much more alienated and insulated they've become.
