Johannesburg - Former apartheid minister of law and order Adriaan Vlok has apologised to the director-general of the Presidency, Reverend Frank Chikane, for the atrocities committed by police under his command.
According to a SABC news report on Saturday, Vlok had requested a meeting with Chikane because he saw Chikane as a symbol of those who had suffered at the hands of his police.
Chikane is the former general-secretary of the SA Council of Churches.
Vlok washed Chikane's feet during the meeting, to show his humility.
He asked Chikane to accept his apology and gesture. He said he wanted to reconcile with God.
Chikane accepted Vlok's apology.
