Significance
His assassination is a major blow to anti-corruption efforts, as Murray was acting as liquidator of a company at the centre of the ‘state capture’ scandal and which was closely linked to several leading figures in the ANC.
Impacts
Corruption will continue to sap the functioning and resources of state-owned enterprises and government departments.
Assassinations and political violence will increasingly become part of political life in South Africa.
The failure of police intelligence to identify threats against prominent individuals reveals serious institutional weaknesses.
