Limpho Hani is well within her rights to be outraged at the imminent release of Janusz Waluś. Her family’s life was turned upside down at a time when they should have been rejoicing.
Whatever motivation pushed Clive Derby-Lewis and Waluś to contemplate and execute their plan defies belief. What were they thinking?
Derby-Lewis is dead, and I suppose Waluś must be dead inside his body and mind after languishing in a prison cell for almost three decades.
If things were different, both would have faced the gallows many years ago. Their actions destroyed a family and almost caused a racial war, but somehow cool heads prevailed.
Waluś must immediately be deported and hopefully the Hani family will find closure and peace.
The Hani legacy lives on.
