Cloete Murray: South African corruption investigator shot dead
By Samuel HortiBBC News
A South African accountant who was investigating high-level corruption cases has been shot dead along with his son.
Cloete Murray, 50, was The Liquidator for Bosasa, a company implicated in numerous government contract scandals.
He also worked as a liquidator for firms linked to the wealthy Gupta Brothers , who deny bribery accusations.
Police will see if there is a link between Mr Murray's murder and these corruption investigations.
Mr Murray was shot by unknown gunmen while driving in Johannesburg with his 28-year-old son Thomas, a legal adviser, on Saturday.
His son died at The Scene while Mr Murray was taken to hospital and later died of his injuries, local media reported, citing a police spokesperson.
The pair were driving their white Toyota Prado towards their home in Pretoria, South African media reported.
Mr Murray's job as a court-appointed company liquidator was to look into the accounts of firms that had folded, recover assets, and report any criminality.
One of those companies was Bosasa, a government contractor specialising in prison services.
The Landmark Zondo commission into corruption concluded The Company extensively bribed politicians and government officials to get government contracts during the nine-year presidency of Jacob Zuma , from 2009 to 2018.
Mr Zuma refused to co-operate with The Inquiry but has denied accusations of corruption.
In 2018, current South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said he would repay a $35,000 (£27,300) donation from Bosasa.
An anti-corruption investigator found he had misled parliament over the donation, but that t.
Mr Ramaphosa, which he denies.
Bosasa went into voluntary liquidation after banks closed its accounts.
Mr Murray was also working as a liquidator for firms linked to the Gupta Brothers . The Zondo commission found that The Brothers - Ajay , Rajesh and Atul - tried to influence political and economic decisions during Mr Zuma's presidency in a process known as " state capture".
The Guptas moved from India to South Africa in 1993 and owned a wide-ranging portfolio of companies that enjoyed lucrative contracts with South African government departments and state-owned companies.
The South African authorities are, where they have been arrested, to stand trial.
They have denied accusations of paying financial bribes to win contracts.
