The party says it has received legal advice against cross-examining the former COO, who alleged Bosasa gave the top 6 money.
The ANC reportedly backed out of its application to cross-examine Angelo Agrizzi, the former chief operating officer of controversial facilities management company Bosasa, at the commission of inquiry into state capture. ANC spokesperson Dakota Legoete confirmed tothat the ruling party would not be cross-examining Agrizzi because they believed he clarified the allegation he had made against the top six, stating that they received money from Bosasa.
He claimed he was aware of cheques of up to R12 million sent to the ANC top six, prompting Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo to tell him that he must produce evidence to back up this claim. Former ANC treasurer-general Zweli Mkhize later confirmed that the governing ANC had accepted donations from Bosasa, despite the company being implicated in wrongdoing in a Special Investigating Unit report.
“What the honourable chair has said is true. There are large donations. I know of large donations given to the top six at one stage of R10 to R12 million cheques that were taken there,” Agrizzi said.
