The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have caused major traffic disruptions by shutting down the N1 highway over Janusz Waluś parole.
The red berets said the protest is related to the release of South African Communist Party (SACP) leader Chris Hani‘s assassin Janusz Waluś.
Waluś is expected to be released on Thursday after the Constitutional Court granted him parole on 21 November.
“We reject the parole for a war criminal and racist,” the party said in a tweet.
The EFF‘s actions follows the march by members from the ANC and its tripartite alliance partners, the SACP and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) to the Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre on Wednesday, where Janusz Waluś has been imprisoned for the past 30 years.
