TEXT A
Nothing will stop us!’
Speaking at Chris Hani’s funeral, the president of the African National Congress, Nelson
Mandela said, “when we, as one people, act together decisively, with discipline and
determination, nothing can stop us . . . Let us rededicate ourselves to bringing about the
democracy he fought for all his life: democracy that will bring real, tangible changes in the
lives of the working people, the poor, the jobless, the landless”.
Suspicions are running high that the brutal murder was not the work of a lone anticommunist
fanatic, but a hit organised by forces within the white establishment and their security forces,
the so-called “third force” intent on sabotaging progress towards majority rule.
Chris Hani was the most senior black leader to be assassinated. The assassin is believed to
be a professional hitman. An obvious motive for Hani’s murder was to drive a wedge between
the radical young lions and the ANC by depriving it of the leader they respect. The plotters
may have hoped that the ANC would lose control of its young supporters.
The killing came soon after the multiparty talks had resumed to hammer out details for
nonracial constituent assembly election. Optimism was running high that majority rule was on
the horizon. The assassination threw this progress into immediate doubt.
