• Limpho Hani's hopes of keeping Chris Hani's killer Janusz Waluś in prison have been set aside
• The Constitutional Court said it will not revoke its decision of granting Waluś parole and dismissed the application
• Waluś was released on parole a few days ago and SA reacted to Hani's widow losing another application

JOHANNESBURG - The Constitutional Court (ConCourt) has dismissed the South African Communist Party (SACP) and Limpho Hani's application to reconsider and revoke the decision to release Janusz Waluś on parole.

Waluś who assassinated Chris Hani was released from prison on Wednesday after serving a sentence of almost 30 years.

Hani's widower and the SACP argued in their application that the apex court's decision had a patent error and that the judgement should be rescinded. They said their application was not completely analyzed by the court, reported EWN.

"Was released this week? Where are the pics on media? Something is beating the water here."
