Chris Hani's killer is 'rehabilitated' and won't do it again - lawyer
7 August 2018
"The unrepentant murderer Janusz Walus must rot in jail", an SACP placard read in a packed North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, during the parole bid of the man jailed for the assassination of struggle icon Chris Hani.
Roelof du Plessis SC, who represented Walus, delivered his heads of arguments in court on Tuesday morning.
South African Communist Party members, who were clad in their red T-shirts and who wore caps, filled the seats in the courtroom. Hani's wife Limpho was also present.
Du Plessis argued that members of the parole board, including the chairperson, noted in October 2017 that Walus was a suitable candidate for parole.
