South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced a judicial inquiry into allegations of political interference in the prosecution of apartheid-era crimes.

The announcement comes three decades after the end of white-minority rule - and after a group of survivors and victims' relatives sued Ramaphosa's government over a perceived lack of justice.

Announcing the new inquiry, a presidential statement said Ramaphosa is "determined that the true facts be established and the matter brought to finality".

President Cyril Ramaphosa says the law ensures "public access to land in an equitable and just manner".

But standing in for Ramaphosa in a speech at South Africa's Freedom Day celebration in the eastern province of Mpumalanga, Mantashe criticised South African citizens who have called on Trump to "punish" the country.
