In the week that was, former Bosasa chief operations officer Angelo Agrizzi concluded his marathon testimony before the commission.

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.

Current and former Bosasa employees also gave testimony before the commission. 

On Thursday, Pretoria chief magistrate Desmond Nair, who presided over Oscar Pistorius's bail application, was implicated in the fast growing Bosasa scandal.

Nair allegedly accepted the installation of R200 000 worth of security systems at his Pretoria home, including a full electric fence, CCTV and alarm systems.

This was revealed by Bosasa employee Richard le Roux, who testified before the commission on Thursday. Le Roux, who was issued with a summons to appear before the commission, works for Global Technology Systems, a subsidiary of Bosasa previously known as Sondolo IT.
