Post-independence South Africa betrays Hani

The South African Constitutional Court on Monday November 20 2022 ruled that Chris Hani’s killer Janusz Waluś be released on parole within 10 days.
This comes after ConCourt found that decision by South African Minister of Justice Ronald Lamola not to grant Waluś parole in 2020 was irrational.
Janusz Waluś on 10 April 1993 assassinated Chris Hani.
Born Martin Thembisile Hani, he was the leader of the South African Communist Party and chief of staff of uMkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress.
He fought Apartheid regime alongside Nelson Mandela Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma.
It was the death of Chris Hani that was the breaking point for Apartheid era, which should have been the cause of a full out armed struggle.
EFF leader Julius Malema said during his trial over hate Speech against Boer Interest serving Organisation- Afriforum, the Black South Africans were ready to pick up arms after the murder of Chris Hani.
Chris Hani’s widow, with the support of the EFF has been fighting the courts opposing the release of Janusz Waluś.
Dimpho Hani speaking on the courts decision said Nelson Mandela and the ANC pivoted on Chris Hani’s death to broker the Rainbow nation agreement.
Analysts say that it’s the South African Constitution that has given indigenous South Africans no power to take summountable legal action on anyone protected by the “White South Africa”.
Leading to “Black South Africans” turning on other immigrants to vent their pent up anger that has been brewing since Apartheid days.
Thus the birth of Xenophobia.
Recently, Zimbabweans who practice the Apostolic Faith in Johannesburg were rounded up by Operation Dudula and forced to burn their garments and prayer sticks.
Their message was, God is there in Zimbabwe. Go pray there.
Their regalia was brandished – uMkhonto we Sizwe.
