Former Bosasa COO testified about the bribes paid to senior politicians and business people but only three have applied to Zondo commission to rebuff his allegations
Nomvula Mokonyane, Dudu Myeni, Vincent Smith and former president Jacob Zuma were among those named by Agrizzi as receiving bribesNone of the senior politicians accused of corruption by former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi has yet applied to cross-examine him — with only three people, including suspended prosecutions boss Nomgcobo Jiba — attempting to counter Agrizzi’s evidence under oath.
Environmental affairs minister Nomvula Mokonyane, former SAA chair Dudu Myeni, ANC MP Vincent Smith and former president Jacob Zuma, were among those named by Agrizzi as receiving bribes, gratifications or gifts from Bosasa during his testimony, given more than two months ago. But, as yet, they have not applied to cross-examine Agrizzi.
Mokonyane’s spokesperson Mlimandlela Ndamase said the minister had only been issued with a formal notice that she was implicated by Agrizzi’s evidence on Wednesday, and was waiting for copies of his statement before she applies to cross-examine him. If Mokonyane does apply to cross-examine Agrizzi, she will have to undertake to testify before the inquiry and face cross-examination as well.
“Now what I’m saying is I have an opportunity to present. I’ve been given until the 25th to finish all the submissions regarding what Agrizzi has claimed. I will repeat: he is a racist.” Agrizzi is expected to take the stand at the Zondo inquiry on Thursday to give further testimony about Bosasa.
