The parole of an apartheid-era hitman does not set a precedent for the release of Clive Derby-Lewis, the correctional services minister said on Friday
Apartheid-era hitman Butana Almond Nofemela has been granted parole, Correctional Services Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said on Friday.
Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has met apartheid-era police hit squad member, Butana Almond Nofemela, as she considers his parole after 21 years in prison.
A police hit squad member, who in 1987 escaped the gallows after confessing to killing eight ANC members, is being considered for parole.
The star witness to the Harms commission tells nonchalantly how he murdered, stole, tortured and cheated. How many people has he killed?
