SACP turns to the law to ensure Chris Hani’s killer is not released on parole.

The South African Communist Party (SACP) says it is turning to the law to ensure that Chris Hani’s killer, Janusz Walus, is not released on parole.

This comes after the Constitutional Court on 21 November ordered that Walus be released on parole within 10 days. He was serving a life sentence for killing Hani in 1993.

The SACP and its alliance partners picketed outside the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg.

A picket outside the highest court in the land revealed the SACP’s lack of closure to the assassination of former SACP Secretary-General, Chris Hani in 1993. The Communist Party’s Secretary-General, Solly Mapaila, announced their programme of action to prevent the release of Walus.
