Janusz Walus, the convicted murderer of South African struggle icon Chris Hani, will be deported to Poland on Friday, following the completion of his parole.
Walus assassinated Hani in 1993, a pivotal moment in South Africa’s democratic transition, causing nationwide outrage. Initially sentenced to death, his sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment.
Released on parole in December 2022 after a Constitutional Court ruling, Walus no longer holds South African documents.
The Department of Home Affairs will oversee his deportation.
The government has also acknowledged a request from Hani’s family for an inquest into the assassination.
