The Wandile Bozwana case: A killing that epitomises the role of assassinations in SA today


Gallo Images / Thapelo Maphakela
Wealthy businessman Wandile Bozwana met a violent end when he was gunned down in his car in Pretoria in October 2015. Sadly, Bozwana's death is not unique, and bears many of the hallmarks seen in other assassinations in South Africa.
That Bozwana had political connections also reflects a trend of political rivalries being settled through violence. His alleged killers are on trial only now, six years after his death, perhaps reflecting the corrosive impact that intimidation and violence has had on South Africa's criminal justice system.
Assassinations, politics, the taxi industry and big business are interlinked in South Africa. This nexus is epitomised by the case of Wandile Bozwana who was killed in October 2015 while he stopped at a traffic light in Pretoria. He was shot nine times and died a billionaire, having built his fortune acquiring government contracts.
