ANC MP Cedric Frolick was allegedly tasked with 'crossing the impasse' between Bosasa and Vincent Smith.
"We sat in there for quite a while before Frolick walked in with Smith. He was visibly annoyed that we were there ... He was very abrupt. The meeting actually did not go well at all," Agrizzi said.
Smith has since been implicated in state capture after allegations emerged that he received undue upgrades to his home by Bosasa and that the company footed the bill for his daughter's tertiary education. Frolick's alleged relationship with the Watsons also seemed to bear fruit in 2016, when he arranged for justice and correctional services minister Michael Masutha to stay at a Port Elizabeth property belonging to the Watson family. There, the minister was introduced to Gavin Watson.
Earlier this year, Masutha revealed in parliament that he had spent a weekend at the property to attend an ANC rally ahead of local government elections. Before his departure, he said, Watson had arrived at the home and tried to discuss Bosasa's contract with the correctional services department.Agrizzi confirmed the meeting.
"[Watson] called me out and he said listen here, sorted, the Lord works in mysterious ways. He said [Frolick] would help him organise accommodation for Masutha and he would be able to meet him … [Watson] told me exactly how he had planned it. He was extremely excited about it," Agrizzi said.
