## Ukubulawa
UChris Hani wabulawa isigungu mhla zingama-10 kuMbasa 1993 ngaphandle kwekhaya lakhe eDawn Park, okuyindawo esodolobheni laseBoksburg ehlala izinhlanga ezixubile. Wamiswa ngumPholishi onguntamolukhuni wokufika owabe engahambisani nobukhomanisi ogama lakhe nguJanusz Waluś owamdubula ngenkathi ephuma emotweni yakhe. UWalus wabaleka endaweni yesigameko kodwa washeshe waboshwa emva kukuthi uMargareta Harmse, umama wamhlophe wase-Afrikaner, wabona uWalus ngqo ngemuva kwesigameko, ngenkathi edlula ngemoto, wathinta amaphoyisa. Umakhelwane kaChris Hani naye wabona kwenzeka lesi sigameko emva kwesikakathi wakhomba uWaluś  kanye nemoto ayeyshayelo ngaleso sikhathi. UClive Derby-Lewis owabe eyilungu eliphezulu ePhalamende leSouth African Conservative Party owayephinde abe nguNgqonqgoshe oyisithunzi weZindaba zoMnotho ngaleso sikhathi, wayesanda kutsheleka uWaluś isibhamu, naye waboshwa ngegalelo lakhe ekubulaweni kukaHani. I-Conservative Party yabe ihlubuke kwi-National Party (NP) eyayibusa ngokuphikisana nezinguquko zikaP.W. Botha. Ngemuva kokukhethwa kuka-1989, kwakuyiqembu lesithathu elinamandla kakhulu eNdlu yeMhlangano, ngemuva kweNP, futhi ephikisana nokuqedwa kobandlululo kukaFrederik Willem de Klerk. 

Ngokomlando, ukubulawa kubonakala njengokushintsha.....Uthuthuva olukhulu lwalandela emva kwalomshophi kwaba khona ingebhe yokuthi ezweni kungase kuqubuke udlame. UNelson Mandela wathula inkulumo eyibhekise esizweni enxenxa abantu ukuthi behlise umoya kule nkulum wabe athathwa njengo'Mongamemeli'nakuba wabe engakabu ngumongameli ngokusemthethweni wezwe: 
Kusihlwa ngizama ukufinyelela kuwo wonke umuntu waseNingizimu Afrika, omnyama nomhlophe, ekujuleni kobuntu bami. Umuntu omhlophe, ogcwele ubandlululo nenzondo, weza ezweni lakithi futhi wenza isenzo esibi kangangokuthi isizwe sethu sonke manje sibhekene nenhlekelele. Sifazane omhlophe, osuka emaBhunwini, wafaka impilo yakhe engozini ukuze simazi, futhi alethe ubulungiswa, lo mbulali. Ukubulawa kukaChris Hani okunesihluku kwaletha ukushaqeka okukhulu ezweni lonke kanye nasemhlabeni.... Manje sekuyisikhathi sokuba bonke abantu baseIRiphabhuliki yaseNingizimu Afrika bame ndawonye ngokumelene nalabo, kusukela kunoma iyiphi ingxenye, bafisa ukubhubhisa lokho uChris Hani anikela ngempilo yakhe ukuze -  inkululeko yethu sonke. 
  
  *Tonight I am reaching out to every single South African, black and white, from the very depths of my being. A white man, full of prejudice and hate, came to our country and committed a deed so foul that our whole nation now teeters on the brink of disaster. A white woman, of Afrikaner origin, risked her life so that we may know, and bring to justice, this assassin. The cold-blooded murder of Chris Hani has sent shock waves throughout the country and the world. ... Now is the time for all South Africans to stand together against those who, from any quarter, wish to destroy what Chris Hani gave his life for – the freedom of all of us.*
Nakuba udlame aluqubukanga emva kwalomshophi,  izinhlangothi zombili zenqubo yokuxoxisana zaqhuba ngokushesha futhi kwaba nesivumelano sokuthi ukhetho lentando yeningi kufanele lwenzeke mhla zingama-27 kuMbasa 1994, emva konyaka ngemva kokubulawa kukaHani.  

### Ukugwetshwa kwabulali kanye nokulalelwa koshwele

Bobabili uJanusz Walus noClive Derby-Lewis bagwetshwa ngesigwebo sentambo ngecala lokubulala. UmkaDerby-Lewis, uGaye, watholakala emsulwa ecaleni lokubulala. Isigwebo salamdoda womabili kwaba ngesikadilikajele ngoba isigwebo sentambo sachithwa emva komyalelo osuka eNkantolo yoMthethosisekelo ngonyaka we-1995.

Ababulali bakaHani bavele ngaphambi kweKhomishana yamaQiniso nokuBuyisana *(Truth and Reconcilliation Commission (TRC))*, babeka ukuthi babegqugquzelwa ezombusazwe ezenzweni zabo zobugebengu futhi babezofaka isicelo ushwele ekutheni babenze lesi senze ngenxa yomyalelo owabe uphuma kwiConservative Party. Umndeni wakwaHani umelelwe ngummeli owayelwa nobandlululo uGeorge Bizos.  Izicelo zabo zachithwa lapho i-TRC ikhipha umyalelo owawuthi laba bobabili babengathunywanga muntu . Ngemuva kwemizamo eminingi eyayihluleka, uDerby-Lewis wanikezwa ushwele wezempilo ngoNhlaba wezi-2015, ngemuva kukuthola ukuthola ukuhti unomdlavuza wamaphaphu obulalayo, wadlula emhlabeni emva kwezinyanga ezingama-18, mhla zi-3 kuLwezi wezi-2016. 

Mhla zi-10 kuNdasa 2016, iNkantolo eNkulu yaseNingizimu Afrika eseNyakatho eGauteng, yayala ukuthi uWalus akhishwe ngoshwele futhi inikezwe izimo zebheyili. UMnyango Wezobulungiswa Nezinsizakalo Zokuqondisa Izigwegwe wafaka isikhalo ngesiqumo sashwele, eNkantolo Ephakeme Yokwedlulisa Izikhalazo eBloemfontein.  Umnyango wezaseKhaya ungahoxisa ubuzwe bakhe baseNingizimu Afrika.  Mhla zili-18 kuNcwaba 2017, iNkantolo ePhakeme yokuDluliswa kwamaCala ehlezi eBloemfontein yaguqula isinqumo sokunika u-Walus ushwele, okwakuyisigqibo esamukelwa inhlangano ye-SACP. NgoMfumfu wezi-2019, u-Waluś wayesalokhu evalelwe, nakuba ummeli wakhe wayethi isigwebo sakhe simguqulile, ubuntu bakhe sebushintshile. Mhla zili-16 kuNdasa 2020, u-Waluś wenqatshelwa ushwele nguNgqongqoshe wezobulungiswa uRonald Lamola.

### Imibono ehlukene ngokubulawa
Ukubulawa kukaHani kwaheha amahebezi eminingi amayelana nokubandakanyeka kwabangaphandle. Umbiko wokugcina we-TRC wona wathi, "awukwazanga ukuthola ubufakazi bokuthi laba ababili ababeboshelwe ukubulala uChris Hani babelandela umyalelo ophuma ezinhlanganweni zaphesheya, amaqembu ezokuphepha okanye ovela phezulu embuthweni yontamolukhuni" .

## Imfundiso

UHano wabe engumholi....futhi onokwesekwa okukhulu yintsha eyabe ilwa nobandlululo. Ngesikhathi edlula emhlabeni wabe engumholi odumeile we-ANC ukulandela uNelson Mandela futhi ngezinye izikhathi wayebhekwa njengesitha ebuholini benhlangano bangaleso sikhathi . Ukulandela ukwenziwa kwe-ANC ibe semthethweni, ukweseka kukaHani inqubo yokuxoxisana nohulumeni wobandlululo kwakubaluleke kakhulu ekugcineni amabutho esemqgeni .
