The South African Times:

 

The Human Rights Commission chairman Jody Kollapen wrote to the minister of international relations and cooperation, Maite Nkoane-Mashabane, asking why the position taken by the SA representative on the UN Human Rights Council differed from the government position. South Africa recently supported a call by Judge Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, for an investigation into the atrocities. Kollapen said South Africa had always played a role in trying to mediate the conflict. "What was concerning was South Africa supported the resolution that would not see any investigation. It was in contradiction to the statement issued by the South African government."
