On 10 April 1993,Thembisile Chris Hani was shot and killed as he returned home to the racially mixed suburb of Dawn Park, Boksberg (Johannesburg), Hani was assassinated by Januzs Walus, an anti-Communist Polish refugee who had close links to the White nationalist AWB. With him was his daughter, Nomakhwezi, then 15 years old. His wife, Limpho, and two other daughters, Neo (then 20 years old) and Lindiwe (then 12 years old) were away at the time. Also implicated in the assassination was Conservative Party MP Clive Derby-Lewis, and strangely a theory based largely on documents given to the Mail & Guardian point to a conspiracy beyond the right wing, linking the assassination to the ANC.

The Little Karoo Village of De Rust, lying in the crook of a bend in the road somewhere between the Feather Capital of Oudtshoorn and the fold Mountains of Meiringspoort was once, a one-horse Town! Established in the 1900's. In recent Years, you’re more likely to find donkeys though in De Rust. Taking tourists for a ride around the Village for R 20 a throw. De Rust has won a ‘Small Town’ Awards, sells its stately Homes, at a 'goodly price' and welcomes all sorts of City, 'runaways'.
