Le Roux’s testimony followed that of former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi, who led evidence that Mokonyane had received monthly payments from the company. “My husband had been doing some work. He had ventured into a very closed sector of business. He had people who were mentoring and supporting him, and they could see it was a good business which had a chance of growing,” she said during testimony on Thursday.

However, Mokonyane said she felt the need to contribute towards the vehicle because “I have my own pride”.
