BOKSBURG : Murder Charges
Right-wing politician Clive Derby-Lewis, his wife, Gaye, and Polish immigrant Janusz Walus will appear in court Wednesday on charges of involvement in the April 10 assassination of a key South African black leader, Chris Hani.
Clive Derby-Lewis, 51, a former Conservative Party member of Parliament, was charged Saturday. His wife, a journalist with the Conservative Party newspaper, and Walus, a member of the right-wing Afrikaner Resistance Movement, were charged earlier.
Hani, 50, general secretary of the Communist Party and a key figure in the African National Congress, was shot dead in the driveway of his suburban Johannesburg home. His assassination marked the first slaying of a high-ranking anti-apartheid leader in South Africa’s history.
