Chris Hani’s killer has been placed on parole, effective on Wednesday.
In a statement, minister of justice and correctional services Ronald Lamola announced he has placed Janus Walus on parole under strict conditions with effect from Wednesday.
Walus, whose release on parole was ordered by the Constitutional Court two weeks ago, was stabbed by a fellow inmate at Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria on Tuesday last week.On November 21, the Constitutional Court ordered that Walus, who murdered SA Communist Party leader Chris Hani in 1993, be released on parole within 10 days. “He will serve two years under community corrections in line with the parole regime upon which he is released.
The minister said in previously denying Walus parole, the decision was not in the spirit of avenging a stalwart of the liberation struggle, but it has always been within the context of giving effect to the interests of justice, from the perspective of what the sentencing court sought to achieve. “Our courts on previous occasions reminded us that our constitution is located in a history which involves a transition from a society based on division, injustice and exclusion from the democratic process to one which respects the dignity of all citizens, and includes all in the process of governance.
