Chris Hani hitman Janusz Walus shakes South Africans - DETAILS:

-
JOHANNESBURG - Parolee Janusz Walus, convicted for assassinating South African anti-apartheid leader Chris Hani, has shook South Africans during an interview with independent broadcaster eNCA. 

In what is perceived to be a lack of remorse for killing Hani, Wales during the interview, stated that he would repeat the assassination if it could have halted the transition to a democratic South Africa. 

Walus, a Polish immigrant, was convicted in 1993 for the murder of Chris Hani, the General Secretary of the South African Communist Party and a prominent figure in the African National Congress. His actions nearly derailed the country's negotiations to end apartheid. 

Asked, Walus claimed he acted alone and was motivated by his opposition to communism and the political changes occurring in South Africa at the time. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's decision to deny him amnesty, arguing that he was denied justice. 

Walus was deported to Poland in December 2024 after completing his detention term.
