Bosasa's former auditor, Peet Venter, is set to give evidence today at the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture, as Angelo Agrizzi this week is also set to give more evidence.
Venter’s affidavit made headlines on 2018, after Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane questioned President Cyril Ramaphosa about a payment of R500 000 made out to the president’s son, Andile Ramaphosa, by Bosasa. The party later released Venter’s affidavit in which the payment is mentioned.
In his response to Maimane, Ramaphosa told National Assembly his son had conducted business with Bosasa, but that the deal was above board and was contracted. However, Andile denied that the payment was for his benefit. In his statement to the public protector, Ramaphosa said he did not deliberately mislead Parliament, saying his initial response to Maimane was based on an assumption he made after learning two months earlier that his son had done business with Bosasa.
