Janusz Walus, the killer of South African anti-apartheid leader Chris Hani nearly three decades ago, was stabbed in prison and is receiving treatment, authorities said on Tuesday.
Walus, 69, a Polish citizen, was granted parole by South Africa's Constitutional Court last week and was expected to be released imminently. The decision was met with fierce criticism and protests across the country.
"Inmate Walus is stable and DCS healthcare officials are providing the necessary care," the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) said in a statement.
