Anti-apartheid activist Alex Boraine, one of the main proponents of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), has died aged 87.

After the end of white-minority rule in 1994, Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first democratically elected president, appointed Archbishop Desmond Tutu to chair the TRC with Mr Boraine as his deputy.

The TRC was set up to investigate the crimes committed by all sides during the apartheid regime - and to recommend whether people confessing their involvement should receive amnesty.
