THE South African Communist Party won a victory yesterday in its fight against the release of late general secretary Chris Hani’s assassin.
The North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria dismissed killer Janusz Walus’s application to be released from prison based on “exceptional circumstances” before the appeal processes against his parole were exhausted.
Judge Nicoline Janse van Nieuwenhuizen also awarded costs to the the SACP and Mr Hani’s family, who had brought the appeal.
