Clive Derby-Lewis, behind Chris Hani killing, dies
3 November 2016 Africa
Clive Derby-Lewis, a South African politician jailed for the 1993 assassination of Communist Party leader Chris Hani, has died at the age of 80.
Mr Hani led the military wing of Nelson Mandela's African National Congress Party and was among South Africa's most popular black politicians.
Derby-Lewis opposed ending white minority rule and was trying to start a race war in the last days of apartheid.
Another man, Janusz Walus, shot Mr Hani but Derby-Lewis provided the gun.
