The ANC and its alliance partners, the South African Communist Party and Cosatu, held a picket outside the Constitutional Court this weekend🪧 ECRNewswatch ChrisHani JanuszWalus TripartheidAlliance Apartheid
It's in protest against the court's judgment ordering Justice and Correctional Services Minister, Ronald Lamola to grant parole to Anti-apartheid activist Chris Hani's killer Janusz Walus.
The court ruled that the decision by Lamola to deny Walus' parole was irrational and set it aside on Monday. Cosatu spokesperson Sizwe Pamla says the alliance will announce details regarding their legal strategy and other activities at the picket. "We are very angry with that decision. We strongly feel that the Constitutional Court did not factor in the crime that was committed in 1993," says Pamla."The constitution that we have today and the Constitutional Court itself is an outcome of a process that Janusz Walus came from Poland to destroy and derail."
Walus shot and killed the SACP leader in the driveway of his Dawn Park, Boksburg, home in April 1993."The fact that the Constitutional Court did not force Walus to confess all of what he knows and to ensure that the Hani family receives all of the information that they've been asking for is something that is totally unacceptable,” says Pamla.
