SA Communist Party leader Chris Hani’s killer, Janusz Walus, is to be released on parole.

In 2020, Justice Minister Ronald Lamola refused his application for parole.

He subsequently took Lamola’s decision on review but was unsuccessful both in the Pretoria High Court and on appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).

Walus then approached the apex court, which handed down its decision on Monday, finding in favour of Walus.

It has ordered the minister to place him on parole.
