Yes, you are right - not by the KGB or the South Africans.
It is not directly said in the film as well, and "Honi soit qui mal y pense", but:

The violation of swedish territorial waters by US and british subs, to make it look like russian intruders and influence the public opinion against prime minister Mr. Palme, the psychological warfare of the US to influence and shut up a befriended nation like Sweden, having the boldness to talk (!) with the Russians, could (!) suggest that. And it leaves a bad taste, diplomatically spoken.

This "russian" violation of swedish waters was stage-managed alright by the US, Britain or both, this is obvious. And as usual it pays to think about who has the most gain of such action happening *.
The swedish military and politics of the time did not even realize how it was deceived.

Regarding the killing:
I did not say it was the CIA. There is however a very low chance it was the KGB ? Or South Africa ? Two countries you introduced, not me. You could have proposed Switzerland as well.
It may well be Palme was killed by his own military, or by his own secret service consisting of right wing hawks having sympathy for, and connections with, the CIA.
The film (!) suggests that.

*It also maybe that he was just killed by a maniac, or born murderer, who knows. But it pays to think about who has the most gain of such action happening.

I don't accuse anyone, back then it was the cold war, and governments inofficially still murder enemies abroad.
