“The minister never relied on the fact that Mr Walus’ SA citizenship had been revoked to contend that Mr Walus should not be granted parole,” the court stated in its ruling.
“The fact that Mr Walus never made a full disclosure before the TRC [Truth and Reconciliation Commission] was not one of the factors that needed to be taken into account in terms of the department’s policy or the Correctional Services Act in determining whether parole should be granted,” the judgment further reads.In their response, the SACP and Hani’s family stated that they were “deeply disappointed” by the judgment.
“In its decision, the Constitutional Court moves from implying to concluding that it has considered our submissions by considering the minister’s submissions when it ordered him to place the convicted assassin on parole. This matter cannot end here,” the SACP said in a statement on Saturday.
“We also demand a full inquest into the assassination of Chris Hani. We want full disclosure of the truth and all the circumstances surrounding the assassination for justice to take its course.” JUST IN: SACP says it and the family of murdered Communist Party leader Chris Hani will approach the African Commission on Human and People's Rights in response to Constitutional Court judgment placing his killer Janusz Walus on parole.
