I spent a weekend at Bosasa chief’s house, reveals Masutha
Johannesburg - Justice and Correctional Services Minister Michael Masutha revealed on Wednesday that he met Bosasa’s Gavin Watson in person once and stayed over at one of the company's houses in Port Elizabeth for a weekend three years ago. Masutha made the disclosure while responding to questions posed by the DA’s Glynnis Breytenbach when he led the Department of Correctional Services delegation to brief the portfolio committee on Bosasa-related contracts.
Masutha claimed that he had received a call from an MP colleague, whom he did not name, asking if he was attending the rally. “I indicated that I had made arrangements but there was a difficulty in my office to secure accommodation.” Masutha said: “Indeed, accommodation was confirmed. I arrived on Thursday evening and stayed until Sunday morning.”
