Vlok, whose name is synonymous with the brutal repression of the white establishment's political opponents during apartheid has apologized for his past actions, a government official said Monday, Aug. 28, 2006. Vlok, whose ministry helped suppress anti-apartheid protests, last weekend visited the offices of the Rev. Frank Chikane, a top presidential aide, to apologize. (AP Photo/Adil Bradlow)
