South Africa: Government plans appeal over parole for Hani’s killer
SOUTH AFRICA’S government vowed yesterday to appeal against the decision to grant parole to communist leader Chris Hani’s assassin.
Justice Minister Michael Masutha said Judge Nicoline Janse van Nieuwenhuizen’s March 10 decision to free Polish-born far-right killer Janusz Walus was a mistake.
The judge’s ruling was issued a month before the 23rd anniversary of the then South African Communist Party (SACP) general secretary’s murder on April 10 1993.
