The ANC in Gauteng has expressed outrage over the vandalism of the Chris Hani monument in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni.
ANC Gauteng provincial spokesperson Lesego Makhubela said the destroyed monument was located in the Thomas Nkobi Memorial Garden."The monument is comprised of Chris Hani’s gravesite, the Chris Hani Memorial and the Walk of Remembrance,’’ Makhubela said.
The vandalism comes as Hani’s killer, Janusz Walus, was granted parole by the Constitutional Court last week. ''It [vandalism] occurs at a very difficult moment in our history, where Hani’s assassin, Janusz Walus, is set to be released from prison,’’ Makhubela said. The party called on the municipality and law enforcement agencies to find the perpetrators behind the vandalism.''The vandalism to theportion of the facility and the information centre and kiosk was discovered by municipal officials when they reported for duty this morning. The lighting system of the facility was removed and one of the pillars was badly damaged.
Dlamini said the city was working with the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department to investigate the vandalism.
