Lukhanyo Calata was only three years old when the Cradock 4 were killed. His only memory of his father, Fort Calata, was his funeral.
As retired Judge Sisi Khampepe prepares to begin a commission of inquiry into allegations that politicians stopped the NPA from prosecuting apartheid-era crimes, Lukhanyo Calata suggests that a deal not to prosecute, was made at the highest political echelons.
The inquest continues on Friday.
