A security officer of South African President Jacob Zuma stands guard during the 20th anniversary of the assassination of the late anti-apartheid activist Chris Hani on April 10, 2013 at the Thomas Titus Nkombi Memorial Park in Elspark. Hani, former leader of the South African Communist Party, was assassinated by Polish immigrant Janusz Walus outside his house in Boksburg on the outskirts of Johannesburg on April 10, 1993.
