WATCH: Bosasa CEO GavinWatson instructed others to act illegally – PeetVenter StateCaptureInquiry
The former auditor of Bosasa, Peet Venter, told the commission of inquiry into state capture on Wednesday that the CEO of the controversial company, Gavin Watson, always wanted someone else to blame for his actions, would instruct people to act illegally, and would later discard them to get rid of the evidence, thereby ensuring no fingers got pointed at him.
“I was instructed to make payments on behalf of Mr Watson so I can only elaborate on that,” Venter responded, adding that Agrizzi and Bosasa’s former CFO, Andries van Tonder, told him that Watson had instructed them to carry out illegal acts and so can only testify on hearsay. The payments which Watson instructed Venter to effect were for the legal fees of former SABC COO, Hlaudi Motsoeneng,and a delivery of cash wrapped in a greyish plastic bag to former department of correctional services COO Patrick Gillingham.
