This biography shows how Black political leader Chris Hani's life
and death were pivotal to ending apartheid and to establishing a
democratic government in South Africa. Chris Hani is one of the
most iconic figures in South Africa's history, as a leader within
the African National Congress (ANC) and as chief of staff of
uMkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the ANC. His assassination in
1993 by a far-right militant threatened negotiations to end
apartheid and install a democratic government. Serious tensions
followed the assassination, leading Nelson Mandela to address the
nation in an effort to avert further violence: 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. Hugh Macmillan's concise
biography details Hani's important role in shaping
twentieth-century South African history.
