I pulled out the CIA’s assassination manual and compared the scapegoat setup described in those pages with the Chris Hani setup Stander described. Stander’s statements fit the “lost” scenario, where the killer was a scapegoat intended to be apprehended or even killed. In such a setup, according to the manual, the assassin would be a fanatic of some kind and wouldn’t know the identities of the other members of the organization, which, according to Evelyn Groenink, was the case with the Polish right-wing extremist Janusz Waluś, the man who was convicted of killing Chris Hani.
