Former Bosasa chief operations officer Angelo Agrizzi has concluded his marathon testimony before the judicial commission of inquiry into state capture in Johannesburg, followed by former Bosasa CFO Andries van Tonder now on the witness stand.
On Monday, Agrizzi said Dudu Myeni, a close friend of former president Jacob Zuma and chairperson of his charitable foundation, was a vital cog in controversial facilities manager Bosasa's alleged government-wide network of corruption and bribery.
His testimony has thus far given deep insight into the Bosasa operation, how it seemingly bribed senior government officials, including ministers, and how it lavished money and gifts on them while receiving lucrative tenders in return.
Earlier on Monday, Agrizzi also revealed the names of three "journalists" who were bribed to write positive stories about Bosasa.
One, Pinky Khoabane, was a columnist for the Sunday Times, while two others, one "Bongs" from the Eastern Cape and a "Ntuli" who allegedly wrote for The Star or the Sunday Times, were also named. Their exact identities however remain unclear.
