The Constitutional Court will on Monday afternoon rule on Janusz Waluś’ latest attempt to secure parole.
said he should have been eligible for parole after serving 13 years and four months behind bars. He argued he was met with “continuous shifting of the goalposts and new reasons for refusing parole by different ministers”.
Arguing he had done everything possible to prove he had reformed, he said in his papers to court he had turned over a new leaf, realised apartheid was wrong and had grown closer to God during his almost 30-year incarceration. He said he had tried many times to convey his apology to Hani’s widow Limpho and his children.“I submit I have demonstrated I have become completely rehabilitated, that I will not repeat such a crime, a similar offence or any crime for that matter in future.
The slain South African Communist Party leader’s widow has consistently opposed the parole bids by Walu, saying the crime shook the very core of the democratic and free society the country was trying to build at the time. The motive for the murder was not only personal but carefully designed to thrust the country into a political catastrophe, she said in court papers.has failed to make a full disclosure about the murder and his assassination of her husband was intended to be the first of many political assassinations.
