OPINION: In South Africa those responsible for the SADF’s death flights have never been prosecuted for their crimes against humanity as their Argentinian counterparts have, writes Shannon Ebrahim.

Who would have ever thought that the man who presided over the worst torture centre of Argentina’s military dictatorship would have been posted to Argentina’s embassy in Pretoria at the height of apartheid in 1979?

There were several seminars at which the Argentinians and the South African security branch exchanged methods of interrogation. The difference between what has happened in Argentina and what has happened in South Africa is that the perpetrators of these crimes in Argentina have been prosecuted; in South Africa they have not.
