Five former security officials in South Africa's apartheid regime have received suspended prison sentences for plotting to kill an anti-apartheid activist.
Former Police Minister Adriaan Vlok and his then police chief Johan van der Merwe got suspended 10-year sentences.
The others received suspended five-year sentences from the court in Pretoria.
Under a plea bargain, all five admitted trying to kill prominent black activist Frank Chikane in 1989 by lacing his underwear with a nerve toxin.
Vlok sought forgiveness from Rev Chikane last year by washing his feet.
