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. SNIP Hani was regarded as the most popular politician after Nelson Mandela, who went on to become the country's first black president in 1994.
