SACP and Lesufi push for assassination inquest

THE SACP and Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi have once again called for the government to help establish an inquest into the death of former SACP leader, Chris Hani, who died on the eve of democracy on April 10, 1993.

Ahead of Hani’s 32-year commemorative event set for Cofimvaba in the Eastern Cape later this week where his legacy will be celebrated this year, the Struggle heroes will join Limpho Hani and members of the SACP for a wreath-laying ceremony at the South Park Cemetery in Boksburg yesterday. During her address to the media, Limpho Hani slammed the country’s justice system for having granted an “underworld set”, Janusz Walus parole last year.

Last December, the South African government confirmed through minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni that Walus, convicted for the 1993 assassination of the former Secretary-General, would be deported to Poland following the completion of his parole.
