SACP renews call for inquest into Hani's assassination
The South African Communist Party has renewed its calls for the establishment of an inquest into the death of former SACP leader Chris Hani.
The anti-apartheid icon was gunned down outside his Boksburg home by Polish immigrant Janusz Walus on 10 April 1993.
Wednesday marked 31 years since Hani's death.
SACP General Secretary Solly Mapaila said the party has already collected signatures in an online petition.
"This is one of the reasons we still want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It is for this same reason, among others, that we stood with the family until the end against every application that the assassins made for parole."
"It is for the same reason that we initiated a signature campaign for an inquest into all the circumstances of the assassination of Chris Hani.
"Let us recall. The murder weapon used in the assassination of Chris Hani was taken from military armoury. Who took it? Whose hands was it conveyed through, one by one, towards its destination where the gun was used to commit the assassination?"
"These are some of the many questions that must be answered through an inquest to hold every person who had prior knowledge or role in the assassination accountable."
