Janusz Walus: Killer of South African anti-apartheid hero Chris Hani freed
In Johannesburg & London
The far-right gunman who killed South African anti-apartheid hero Chris Hani has been released on parole a week after he was stabbed in prison.
Janusz Walus, 69, has been discharged under strict conditions for two years, the authorities say.
He shot Hani in 1993 in a failed attempt to derail South Africa's transition from a white-minority government to democratic rule.
The killing still evokes deep emotions in South Africa.
Hani was regarded as the most popular politician after Nelson Mandela, who went on to become the country's first black president in 1994.
South Africa's government and Mr Hani's widow Limpho have vigorously opposed Walus' attempts to gain his freedom.
Members of the governing African National Congress (ANC), the South African Communist Party (SACP), which Hani led, and the Congress of South African Trade Unions have also expressed anger over his release.
In a ruling on 21 November, South Africa's highest court ordered Walus' release within 10 days, saying the justice minister's refusal to grant him parole was "irrational".

He acted on instructions from a member of the far-right Conservative Party of South Africa, Clive John Derby-Lewis, who gave Waluś a gun, money, and his target.

Hani was the former leader of the South African Communist Party (SACP) and Chief of Staff of the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC), uMkhonto we Sizwe (“spear of the nation”, often abbreviated as MK). Thirty years after his murder, Hani remains wildly popular among many, especially black South Africans. The more they feel a sense of betrayal, the more his mythical-cum-iconic status flourishes in their minds.
Modern South Africa is far from the kind of society that Hani and other stalwarts of liberation envisioned. It is at odds with what he spoke and wrote about, and, dare I say, if he were alive today, Hani would be thoroughly disgusted with what his former political homes, the ANC and the S
