Dubbed “Prime Evil” by the media, Eugene De Kock has spent over two decades behind bars, following his arrest in 1994 and his conviction two years later in the North Gauteng High Court.

In a radio interview in 2007, De Kock responded to a statement by former president FW de Klerk – that he had a “clear conscience” regarding his time in office – claiming that South Africa’s last white president had ordered political killings, and that his hands were “soaked in blood”.
