Police investigate double murder after Bosasa liquidator Cloete Murray and son gunned down in Midrand

Words fail one - just watched that Carte Blanche video on dept of justice and lost all hope for this country. Simunye. We are finally one with the rest of this dark continent.

Of course the esteemed Minister of Police will soon announce that they are following up certain leads and anticipate a breakthrough soon. Standard response. Then, nothing.

There is no capacity to investigate crime in South Africa in particular murder crimes with links to the government and the ANC. The crime will never be resolved because it was a hit. The media forgets that we have a government that pays people to stay silent in the PIC owned Day Break farm. The pick and pay general and the National Police Commissioner of Police with no clearance have no ability to deal with crime but they are there to protect Ramaphosa not the citizens of the country. This is one of the crimes that will not be resolved like many others. The media fails to follow the cases of significance that are very important for the country. General Maswanganyi's murderers were identified as SANDF soldiers who used the SANDF vehicles to murder him whilst investigating corruption in the SANDF in the DRC. Their bail and legal defence was paid for by the state. The murderers of Babeta Deokran whose family was never visited by the pick and general we are yet to hear about progress in their case and the arrest of the kingpin. The forensic laboratories are a mess and this is not an accident because the ANC government is determined that evidence is destroyed or is not available in cases of connected people and worse in rape cases. Parliament has been fighting to no avail because ANC MPs have been shielding a thug called Cele. The backlog in forensic evidence is staggering. We must know that we have no police in this country but ANC protectors.

Wonder if our president will even be aware of-let alone comment on-this atrocious act of cowardice-obviously motivated by people who Murray was getting close to and threatening. Brave whistle-blowers and investigators -as such or incidentally in the course of their work (and inquisitive journalists) will continue their sterling work under the shadow of criminality but if there is no political leadership or will-their efforts and the formerly vaunted Zondo Commission will be for nought.

News24 claims Cloete was 58, DM claims 50 ... huh?

We're on our own. Only way to fight this is with more money than the criminals have. But we pay taxes, right? Peace to the family.

SAPS: Oh - you've got cyanide in your bloodstream. Do you have "cynus" problems ?!!

Can an interview with Judge Zondo be arranged. Those responsible for investigating the recommendations of his commission are being bumped off. Cloete Murray the latest. Which came first de Ruyter mentioning to the Presidents representative, who tactfully had amnesia, that someone in the Presidential Department was an Eskom mafia leader and then de Ruyter had an attempt on his life by poisoning or was it vice versa. Babita was reporting to the SIU for PPE corruption. Who runs the SIU, " The SIU is there to execute its mandate to investigate Maladministration, Malpractice and Corruption within the State Institutions and the Private Sector as authorised by Proclamations issued by the President of South Africa. " The net is closing.

I must say, Mr. Rocha fills me with confidence as a truthful player. Not. I fear for the staff members and journalists of DM. Please take care. The ANC cadres are definitely learning from those paragons of democracy, Russia and China. The criminals are getting desperate and lashing out.

Why was this not the headline of the day? This is so shocking.
