ANC backtracks on Agrizzi comments.
ANC spokesperson Dakota Legoete says the ANC has applied to the state capture commission of inquiry to cross examine Angelo Agrizzi.The ANC has backpedaled on comments made to Sowetan's sister publication Business Day by its acting spokesperson that it would no longer continue with its application to cross-examine former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi.
ANC acting spokesperson Dakota Legoete told Business Day on Tuesday that the party had decided not to ask the state capture inquiry for the right to cross-examine Agrizzi about his claims that Bosasa gave R12m to the ANC’s top six officials from 2004 to 2006. “Mr Agrizzi has clarified that these alleged payments to the top six were donations. They were not bribes,” Legoete said at the time. “We have received legal advice that there is therefore no need to cross-examine him.”
However on Wednesday, Legoete issued a statement saying the party would proceed with the cross-examination. “The headlines quoted the statement of the ANC acting spokesperson, in the process misrepresenting the position of the ANC.”
