Prophetic words by South African Communist Party leader, Chris Hani just a year before Polish immigrant Janusz Walus shot and killed him in his driveway in April 1993. It was the third major assassination attempt on Hani’s life. He was the right wing’s enemy number one and was generally distrusted by white South Africans. Like so often happens, after his death he was widely recognized as a soldier who had become a man of peace, a man of reconciliation. One wonders what role Chris Hani would have played or what position he would have been in now had he lived. This past week Hani’s assassin Janusz Walus and the man who helped him plan the murder Clive Derby-Lewis appeared before the Truth Commission’s Amnesty Committee in Pretoria to ask for amnesty.
