Harms Commission

The Harms Commission of Inquiry into Certain Alleged Murders, known as the Harms Commission, was established by South African apartheid-era President F.W. de Klerk on 31 January 1990 as a public inquiry to investigate politically motivated assassinations of opponents of the apartheid regime by clandestine death squads within the South African police and the army.

Background
The commission was established after a public outcry following disturbing revelations made in October 1989 by Almond Nofomela, an askari who was based in Vlakplaas, of his membership in a police hits squad that targeted and killed activists of the African National Congress (ANC) and Pan Africanist Congress (PAC). Nofomela revealed that his previous commander at Vlakplaas was Dirk Coetzee. Coetzee confirmed Nofomela's claims. He gave details of this assassination squad to Vrye Weekblad, an anti-apartheid Afrikaans-language weekly - shocikg the whole world. Soon after these revelations, De Klerk as President was put under immense public pressure to act on the allegations; which resulted in the establishment of the Harms Commission. ==Findings==
