After Janusz Walus deportation, inquest is now key to bring closure to Chris Hani assassination: Experts

View descriptionShare

Former SACP leader Chris Hani's killer Janusz Walus has been deported back to his home country, in Poland. In November 2022, the Constitutional Court found that then Justice minister Ronald Lamola's decision at the time , to refuse to grant Walus parole in 2020 had been irrational. The court then set the decision aside paving the way for the release of  Walus from prison, after 28 years in prison.  The South African citizenship of Polish-born Walus was revoked in 2017. But he was granted residence after his release to enable him to serve his two-year parole period in South Africa. On Friday government said that since Janus Waluz  no longer holds any South African enabling documents, the Department of Home Affairs will be deporting him. There's been a lot of reaction on the matter with some saying this could have ended differently and the South African Communist Party calling for an inquest into Hani's death, saying that without it, justice was incomplete. For more Bongiwe Zwane spoke to  we are now joined on the line by Dr Sithembiso Bhengu, Director at the Chris Hani Institute and Advocate Malose Monene, from the Limpopo Bar
