Hani was brutally gunned down on April 10, 1993. His assassin, Janusz Waluś, was released on parole in 2022. His parole period ended last year, which led to his deportation to Poland, his country of origin.  

A commemorative event is set to take place today in Cofimvaba in the Eastern Cape province in Hani’s honour.  

SACP National Organiser, Mhlekwa Nxumalo, said: “We have never heard any truth. We have been going to court for several years rejecting the application to be released on parole, until such time that the Constitutional Court ruled the way in which they ruled. Now, where we are where the family is until today, we are still not satisfied, and we think that there is a lot that is being hidden.”  

Nxumalo added: “After Waluś was released and went to Poland, in his first interview when he was asked what would happen if a similar chance was given, he said if he can be given a second chance, he is going to do it again.”
