Martin Thembisile "Chris Hani" (1942–1993), the charismatic and principled revolutionary leader widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the anti-apartheid struggle. Born in rural Eastern Cape, he joined the ANC Youth League young, became a dedicated MK (uMkhonto we Sizwe) commander, fought in exile, rose to MK chief of staff, and served as General Secretary of the SACP from 1991. Known for his Marxist convictions, incorruptibility, and deep connection to workers and the poor, he was hugely popular and seen as a potential radical voice for economic justice post-apartheid.
Assassinated on 10 April 1993 outside his Boksburg home by far-right gunman Janusz Waluś (with Clive Derby-Lewis's involvement) in an attempt to derail negotiations and spark wider conflict. His killing nearly ignited civil war but ultimately accelerated the path to the 1994 elections. Today, he remains a powerful symbol of uncompromised commitment to liberation, socialism, and the working class — mourned as the leader SA lost too soon.
**Example sentence:**
"Chris Hani was the real deal — if he hadn't been taken out in '93, the push for land and economic freedom might've looked very different today."

"Chris Hani was the revolutionary who never sold out — imagine if he was still around pushing for real change instead of us still debating the same issues today."

Get the Chrisanique mug.Neo-Christianity is made up of the people on the religious right, who preach love yet support wars, who preach tolerance yet hate gay people, who preach peace yet rage against people who disagree with them. Basically people who say they follow the teachings of Jesus but actually follow the teachings of George W. Bush.
Neo-Christianity is made up of some of the biggest hypocrites in the world.
Neo-Christianity is a hybrid of a Neo-con and Christian.
