Spokesman Mthunzi Mhaga said the department of justice and correctional services was still studying the judgment and would decide whether to appeal it.
“I cannot confirm that he will be freed on parole. What I can confirm is that the judge said he must be placed on parole in 14 days and given bail conditions,” Mhaga told ANA.
“We still have to reflect on the judgment and decide whether we will appeal or not,” he added.
Walus, a Polish immigrant, shot and killed South African Communist Party leader Hani on Easter Sunday April 10, 1993. He was initially sentenced to death, but this was converted to life in prison after the abolition of capital punishment.
