"Today we remember One of Africa's greatest sons. #ChrisHani Assassinated on this day, after making it known that a sellout clique had compromised the future of South Africans and undermined the armed struggle against the Apartheid regime. His sentiments then remain relevant today."

"It was on Saturday morning 10th April 1993 when Janus Walusz pulled a trigger that fired shots into Chris Hani's body. Mandela had to cut his overseas trip short to attend to a looming crisis."

Earlier, Briefly News reported that It is 28 years after he is gone, but his impact is still felt until date.
