The South African Communist Party has expressed its disappointment at the release of Janusz Walus, the killer of former SACP General Secretary Chis Hani on parole on WednesdayLast month, the Constitutional Court ordered that Hani’s killer be released on parole within 10 days. But his release was delayed after Walus was stabbed by another inmate.
For the past two weeks the SACP has been leading protest marches against the release of Walus at different courts including the Constitutional Court. Speaking at another march outside the High Court in Polokwane, SACP spokesperson Alex Mashilo says despite his release on parole, they will push ahead with their court challenges to have justice for the Hani family and the people of South Africa.Last week, the Congress of South African Trade Unions said the imminent release of Walus is a painful moment for most South Africans.
