The three organisations are calling for the protection of whistleblowers and raising awareness of the fatal consequences of speaking out.Naude's attempted murder follows the double murder of court-appointed curator Cloete Murray and his son, Thomas. At the time, Murray was reportedly working with Naude on the tax inquiry into businesswoman Shawn Mkhize’s empire."I am very positive today with the efforts that were done by SARS and civil organisations and individuals," said the widow Thomas Murray, Monet.
