Histórico
Economist and parliamentary candidate for South Africa's National Party, tipped as a future Minister of Finance.
He was murdered, along with his wife Jean-Cora, on 22 November 1977. No arrests have ever been made, and there was little evidence in the case, but the murders are widely suspected to have been politically motivated. Cabinet Minister Pik Botha described it as "one of the most haunting criminal mysteries in our country", and the police investigation remained open as of November 2012.
