[dArKeR]

The Hefer commission confirmed on Tuesday that it had been in contact with a former Eastern Cape human rights lawyer who confessed to being apartheid government agent RS452. Commission secretary John Bacon said Vanessa Brereton, who now lives in London, contacted the commission last Sunday through a go-between.

She agreed to prepare an affidavit to be submitted to the commission, Bacon said.

He "left it wide open for her to decide what information is relevant".

Bacon said he did not know whether Brereton had any relevant information regarding National Director of Public Prosecutions, Bulelani Ngcuka.

The Hefer commission was established to investigate allegations that Ngcuka acted as a spy for the apartheid government. Ngcuka has been linked to codename RS542.

1. 'We trusted her' - News24

A former activist says she doesn't know what could have motivated self-confessed apartheid agent RS452 to have sold out her friends.

She said activists tried to fight a case against the security police in 1986 and Brereton acted in this case as well. "It was totally unethical of her. She worked for both sides and the trust we had in her has been shattered," Cherry said.

Cherry said nobody ever suspected Brereton, but that she didn't believe that Brereton obtained much sensitive information while working in Port Elizabeth.
