South Africa's capitalists called to account
Article Abstract:
South Africa's Trust and Reconciliation Commission is to hold a special three-day hearing to investigate the role of powerful business enterprises in establishing and maintaining the country's apartheid system. This comes at the same time as calls from the Congress of South African Trade Unions for businesses to compensate workers for apartheid. It is believed that few of the around 30 businesses which will give evidence to the commission will offer new information about the past, while even fewer will make an apology.

Time to give up hope?
Article Abstract:
The case of Ben Needham, the young British child who disappeared while on holiday with his parents in 1991 on the Greek island of Kos, continues to attract extensive media attention. There have been many sightings of children who could be him, and false reports still cause great distress to his family. His family will never be able to give up searching for him, and in many ways are in a worse situation than if he were known to be dead.
