Bosasa chief executive Gavin Watson made a point of firing employees close to his once “right-hand man” Angelo Agrizzi after the former Bosasa chief operating officer left the controversial firm, the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture heard on Wednesday.
At the wedding of Agrizzi’s son, Watson realised that a number of Bosasa employees were friendly with Agrizzi, Venter told the commission.Venter raised this incident in relation to evidence contained in an affidavit he wrote when he was roped into Agrizzi’s whistle-blowing plan in November 2017. He testified on Monday that parts of the affidavit, signed December 2017, were written by Agrizzi himself.
Venter recounted that parts of the paragraph referring to this scheme were taken from former Bosasa chief finance officer Andries van Tonder’s own affidavit implicating Watson in fraud allegations. Van Tonder testified before the commission in January.
