Robert McBride can be called a murderer despite his being granted amnesty for the apartheid-era bomb that killed three people.
The Constitutional Court on Friday ruled that despite the Citizen newspaper's “vengeful and distasteful” series of articles, it was entitled to “protected comment”.
Update: Judge Cameron says (as reported on 702) that The Citizen must still pay McBride R50 000 for defaming him by saying he showed no contrition for his bombing.
Stephen Grootes Tweets: (Judge Edwin) Cameron The Citizen wins its main argument. Reconciliation Act doesn't render it untrue that Mcbride committed a crime.
