He described the allegations against Malan and other politicians of the highest national party. , In the book The Lost Boys of Bird Island, as shocking.
"It's really shocking for me, and as far as I can remember, none of these allegations happened in the past, at that time," said Vlok in an interview with CapeTalk on Friday.
The book, written by former police officer Mark Minnie – who was found dead on Monday – and former journalist Chris Steyn, makes accusations of accusations about the abuse of boys and the subsequent attempts to cover up the scandal.
"I know Magnus and I can not believe these allegations against him," said Vlok.

He reminded Malan, now dead, as an introverted person who was honest and a person of "high character".
"He was a great person, as far as I remember, he was not a man attracted by men and children.
" He was an introverted person, he was not extrovert, but he was open.
"As far as I can remember, he was always honest with me.
" I can remember him as a person with a high character. He was a soldier. "
Vlok, however, said it was important to properly investigate the allegations and that if there were any victims, they would have to come forward with evidence so they could put an end.
