Revelations that the son of President Cyril Ramaphosa received more money from Bosasa/African Global Operations than he previously admitted, shows to what extent the company went to buy influence.
Today's revelations that Andile Ramaphosa, the son of President Cyril Ramaphosa, received more money from Bosasa/African Global Operations than he previously admitted, shows to what extent the company went to buy influence, and presents a real danger to Ramaphosa's attempts to clean up corruption.
The payments by Bosasa/AGO to Ramaphosa Jr were made because of the latter's"advisory" services to the corruption-tainted company.He was supposed to link Gavin Watson's firm to business opportunities, but the relationship ended around the same time when the company's former chief operating officer Angelo Agrizzi took to the stand at the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture.
The decision to look at Bosasa/AGO for business opportunities was a poor one by Ramaphosa Jr. He should have known better. It exposed him to a company which bought influence and seemingly bribed senior political figures. And he surely must have known about its history and the problems it could cause his father.
The modus operandi of the state capture network was to target the children of political influencers, whether the surname was Zuma or Magashule. And now Ramaphosa too.
