Rudy van Dieman, who has partnered with Angels South Africa, an organisation based in Colorado Park, Mitchells Plain, will summit Table Mountain 365 times in 2022, to raise funds for building a community orphanage.

The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation believes anti-torture
legislation must have a holistic focus on redress which ensures that there is
restitution for losses suffered by victims, there is guaranteed access to
medical and psychological rehabilitation, victims and their families can claim
their right to know the truth, there is public accountability, and the state
has to provide guarantees that any repetition of such acts are prevented. For
