Broadcaster Nicky Campbell believes the fight to bring a predatory former teacher to justice could soon take a step forward.

The teacher, known as “Edgar” in the UK for legal reasons, has previously admitted to abusing boys at schools in Edinburgh during the 1960s and 70s.

However, following a documentary on Edgar in South Africa, where he now lives, a man has come forward to claim he was abused by him at a school in Cape Town in the 1980s.

Nicky has been leading the fight to extradite Edgar to the UK to be tried for his alleged crimes, but there have been significant delays. But Nicky says testaments from survivors from schools in South Africa could “change everything”.
