The court ordered Minister Lamola to pay for Walus’ legal costs in the Constitutional Court, as well as the Supreme Court of Appeal.The assassination of the anti-apartheid activist and South African Communist Party leader brought the country to the brink of a civil war, at a time when the process of negotiating the transition from apartheid to democracy was at its most delicate.

Walus was convicted in October 1993 of murder and illegal possession of a firearm, and was sentenced to death for the murder and to five years in prison on the firearm charge. His co-conspirator, and formerthe late Clive Derby-Lewis was convicted of conspiracy to murder and was also sentenced to death for his role in plotting Hani’s assassination.
