Derby-Lewis in new bid for freedom
Clive Derby-Lewis
NATIONAL NEWS - Clive Derby-Lewis, 79, convicted for killing South African Communist Party leader Chris Hani, took another shot at parole yesterday and approached the Pretoria High Court for an urgent decision.

His lawyer, Roelof du Plessis, told the court that not allowing Derby-Lewis to die at home with his family was an affront to human dignity.

Derby-Lewis apologised again yesterday through Du Plessis, saying he unconditionally apologised for his part in the murder of Hani.

Du Plessis asked Judge Selby Baqwa to make the decision on Derby-Lewis’s parole, as sending the case back to the minister would inevitably mean Derby-Lewis would die in prison due to the minister’s “bad track record”.
