The murder of Chris Hani: Political or economic? Judge Nicholson lays it bare...
During the launch of "Who Really Killed Chris Hani," Judge Chris Nicholson delves deep into the complex motivations behind Hani’s assassination. While the murder has traditionally been seen as a political act, Nicholson reveals crucial economic motives at play, asserting that financial interests were the primary drivers. He explores the involvement of the corporate underworld, rival ANC factions, and the connection of the plotters to the assassination of Congo’s first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba.
Nicholson also examines the role of the South African Institute for Maritime Research and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), alongside the influence of key political figures such as Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, and Jacob Zuma. His analysis offers a compelling narrative, showing how political intrigue and economic interests were closely intertwined in Hani’s death, providing a fresh and insightful perspective on one of South Africa’s most controversial assassinations.
