Niehaus called for an urgent and official inquiry into Hani's assassination.

In a long, detailed post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Niehaus said,

"WE WILL NOT FORGET, NOR FORGIVE! WE WILL AVENGE! WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE FULL TRUTH ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION OF CHRIS HANI IS REVEALED - HIS DEATH IS AVENGED AND JUSTICE IS DONE."

His comments come as South Africa marks the 32nd anniversary of the tragic killing of the esteemed struggle leader on April 10, 1993.

"Today, we solemnly commemorate 32 years since the assassination of comrade Chris Hani a day that stripped South Africa of a revolutionary hero," Niehaus wrote.

He said the outrage felt over Hani's murder is as intense today as it was back then, adding that the full truth surrounding his death remains enveloped in secrecy more than three decades later.

"Chris Hani, a fearless communist leader and defender of the oppressed, was shot dead by Janusz Waluś, a hired gunman," he added.

Niehaus pointed out that Walus was not the only perpetrator behind what he described as a "heinous act".
