Justice Minister Michael Masutha has told Radio Islam, he denied parole to the killer of SACP leader Chris Hani because of conflicting observations of the psychologists who assessed him.
The minister made the announcement that Janusz Walus will remain behind bars for at least another six months, at a media briefing late yesterday.
The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, last year ordered that Msautha had 120 days in which to decide whether Walus should be placed on parole or not.
Masutha says the conclusions of the psychologists differed resulting in parole being denied.
“There’s still the risk of offending because he has not come to recognise that what he did was something that was wrong.”
Hani’s widow Limpo and the SACP stood firm on their objection to parole and said they noted that Walus still required psychological treatment for depression and anger issues.
