Hani: what is the truth?

The granddaughter of former SACP general secretary Chris Hani has found healing from the trauma of his untimely death, while his party continues to call for the truth around his assassination.

Government yesterday announced the deportation to Poland of Hani's killer Janusz Walus after serving his parole period.

In what marked a turning point in the history of South Africa – almost derailing the country's transition to democracy – Polish immigrant Walus fired several shots from a 9mm pistol, killing Hani in the driveway of his Boksburg home in 1993, in front of his daughter, Nomakwezi.

Walus served a 31-year prison sentence for the assassination, along with Clive Derby-Lewis, who died while on medical parole.

Released two years ago after spending almost three decades in prison, 71-year-old Walus spent the past two years under community correction.

Reflecting on Walus, Nosipho Hani said emotional scars following Hani's death remained and continued to haunt the family.
