YESTERDAY marked 28 years since the assassination of popular former Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) commander and SACP leader Chris Hani by Polish hired gun Janusz Walus in a plot orchestrated by right-wing leader Clive Derby-Lewis, who has since died.
Hani was gunned down with a Z88 pistol outside his Dawn Park, Boksburg, home as he stepped out of his car from an errand.
An Afrikaner woman, a neighbour, raised the alarm, leading to the assassin’s arrest.
Typical of such heroic deaths, Hani – like Steve Bantu Biko – has not been forgotten. After numerous promises of parole, Walus still languishes in jail for this dastardly act, the heinous crime of removing a people’s leader from among them.
