Hundreds of supporters of South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) party and South African Communist Party (SACP) have marched to the Constitutional Court in Pretoria to protest against last week's decision to release the killer of anti-apartheid hero Chris Hani on parole.
The ANC says the move is a travesty of justice and a tragedy for the Hani family.
Mr Hani’s widow Limpho Hani was also on the march. She has accused the judge who ruled on the release of Janusz Walus of being a racist, and local media have been tweeting photos of her at the scene:
“It was quite interesting for a white judge in this country to say to me that I should forget and move on, that is why I called her a racist. I take my husband’s cold murder like a holocaust so she has no right... to tell me and many others in South Africa and over the world who think they are more Christian than all of us put together, pushing me to forget.”
South Africa’s minister of sport and recreation Fikile Mbalula has been addressing the crowds outside the court.
He said that he was marching to voice his disgust at the release of Walus, but also in the hope that the decision could be challenged.
Walus is expected to leave prison within the next two weeks.
