Murray murders: The Singhs' R1bn Ghanaian empire that the Murrays threatened to destroy
A News24 investigation spanning more than a year has revealed an expansive web of corruption spun by the Singhs in Ghana.
Liquidators Cloete and Thomas Murray were murdered just as they had started to unearth evidence that siblings Rushil and Nishani Singh – with whom they spent their final hours – had built a billion-rand empire on a series of lies and bribes. A News24 investigation spanning more than a year has revealed an expansive web of corruption spun by the Singhs in Ghana, where they secured a handful of road and hospital construction contracts, worth at least R1 billion, and maintained favour by paying at least R50 million in bribes to influential politicians in that country.
The contracts, awarded between 2015 and 2019, were for the rehabilitation and construction of more than 100 kilometres of roads and storm drains, as well as construction work on several hospitals as a subcontractor. Their business, Ghana Infrastructure Company , was paid the equivalent of R340 million for work completed between September 2017 and November 2022.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
