South Africa's Truth Commission denied amnesty to the killers, Clive Derby-Lewis (L) and Janusz Walus, of South African Communist Party leader Chris Hani who until his death was seen as a successor to Nelson Mandela.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The convicted killers of South African anti-apartheid hero Chris Hani were attacked by a fellow inmate wielding a kitchen spoon, a correctional services spokesman said on Wednesday.

Clive Derby-Lewis and Janus Walus suffered head and hand injuries after they were attacked by an inmate at a Pretoria prison, spokesman Manelisi Wolela said in a statement.
