Mashatile to lead 32nd Chris Hani commemoration today

# Deputy president Paul Mashatile will lead the 32nd commemoration of the death of liberation struggle icon and freedom fighter, Chris Hani, in Cofimvaba, Eastern Cape, today. The former South African Communist Party leader was assassinated outside his home in Boksburg on this day in 1993. His murderer Janusz Waluś was released on parole and deported back to Poland last year. Mashatile says Hani’s legacy stands as a beacon of courage, selflessness, and service to the people.
