PRETORIA – South Africa’s governing party, the African National Congress on Friday remembered slain SA Communist Party leader Chris Hani on the 27th anniversary of his assassination, with calls to deepen unity in the ruling alliance which incorporates the ANC, the SACP and the Congress of South African Trade Unions .
Hani was shot and killed by Janusz Walus on Easter Sunday, which was on April 10, 1993. Walus was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in October 1993, but this was later commuted to life imprisonment. “We remember the life of Chris Hani as a patriot who devoted most of his life in the service of his people; a humble yet fierce fighter against apartheid injustice and all its manifestations. Throughout his revolutionary life, Comrade Chris refused to compromise with apartheid oppression or succumb to its tyranny and repression,” said Mabe.
