Pretoria streets disrupted by Walus march

Traffic will be affected in the city centre as protesters march against the release of Janusz Walus from the Kgosi Mampuru prison.

Motorists are advised to avoid the corners of Nana Sita and Kgosi Mampuru streets and Princes Park Street today.

This area around the Kgosi Mampuru prison will be inaccessible because of a march by ANC alliance partners against the parole of Janusz Walus.

Walus was convicted of murdering SACP leader Chris Hani in 1993 and recently won his freedom in the Pretoria High Court which order his parole.

He has served 23 years of his life sentence in the prison.

Rob Byrne of Traffic SA said only these streets will be affected by the march.

The march will start at the main entrance to the prison then will proceed to Church Square for a rally.

The ANC alliance partners are said to be against the release of Walus.

This week, Justice Minister Michael Masutha, filed an appeal against the court ruling earlier this month.

This is seen as an intention to keep Walus behind bars.

More to follow soon.
