Blessed by Bosasa: Inside Gavin Watson's state capture cult reveals Watson bullied and insulted his employees, was engaged in an extramarital affair, and deceived the ANCWL, to name a few revelations.

August 30 2019. A picture of Gavin Watson at a church hall full of people who knew him as a memorial service of the late Gavin Watson held in Little Falls Christian Centre in the West Rand Picture: Thapelo Morebudi/The Sunday Times.

He bullied and insulted his employees, called black employees “k*****s” and allegedly had a manipulative mistress who earned an enormous salary from Bosasa.Blessed by Bosasa: Inside Gavin Watson’s state capture cult In his book, Basson reveals that Watson deceived the ANC Women’s League when the company was formed. They believed they owned it, while in actual fact Watson took ownership.

In February, Basson testified at the Zondo judicial commission of inquiry into state capture about being threatened while he and colleague Carien du Plessis were investigating the corrupt tenders Bosasa won from the correctional services department. He also revealed there were plans to “eliminate” him and take him to a prison in Zimbabwe or Zambia.

Calling herself “the bride of Christ”, and often referred to as “Mrs Watson” or “die grootbaas se cherrie” , she seemingly lived with Watson at a complex in Krugersdorp, with her underwear being spotted on his washing line, her car outside his house while he walked around near-naked in his boxer shorts and doing shopping together. His bathroom was also filled with her cosmetics.

Denise Bjorkan, a former senior former Bosasa employee, told Basson: “She could tell him any crap and he would believe it.” She was concerned about the “hold” Gouws had on Watson and both she and Agrizzi witnessed the loud-mouthed, bullying and botoxed Bosasa CEO cower before her.
