Has there been a State of the Nation Address delivered amidst more discontent in post-democracy South Africa than Cyril Ramaphosaโ€™s address this week? Having once encouraged voters to โ€œthuma minaโ€ (send me), the Presidentโ€™s seventh SONA comes at a time of unprecedented anger and frustration. This Sunday, Carte Blanche views SONA 2023 through the eyes of the ANCโ€™s traditional constituency in Khayelitsha and follows veteran social activists as they prepare to make their voices heard on one of Parliamentโ€™s most important days.

Itโ€™s home to the Masterโ€™s Office that administers deceased estates and oversees liquidations - some involving major companies under investigation for millions made in the state capture years. Among the liquidators' responsibilities is attempting to recover money owed to creditors. Cloete Murray was the driving force in the liquidation of BOSASA, a company at the centre of serious allegations of fraud and corruption and owing substantial amounts to creditors including SARS. Murray wasnโ€™t afraid of asking difficult questions of the many company directors he investigated and there were attempts to remove him from the Bosasa case that went as high as the Supreme Court of Appeal. None was successful. Murrayโ€™s story is inextricably linked to those of two senior former officials in the Masterโ€™s Office who believe they were removed because of their role in Murrayโ€™s appointment to the Bosasa liquidation. Last year, Carte Blanche told this story, and interviewed Cloete Murray. But on Saturday he and his son were shot and killed in what is believed to have been an assassination. Carte Blanche investigates the final days before this dark and unspeakable crime took place. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv
