Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Commission of Inquiry into State Capture will hear Bosasa-related evidence from its former secretary Dr Khotso de Wee later on Friday. Former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi alleged that the facility management company had paid De Wee and other officials bribes while still working for the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.

The money was paid to secure a tender for the establishment of a security system in various courts across the country.

Dr Khotso de Wee took a special leave in 2019 when allegations of corruption surfaced against him.

Agrizzi told the State Capture Commission that De Wee, who was a COO at the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, was paid huge sums of money by the company to secure lucrative contracts with the department.

It’s alleged the contract worth around R600 million was awarded to Bosasa subsidiary – Sondolo IT for the provision of CCTV and access control systems at buildings administrated by the department around the country which included court buildings.

De Wee denied the allegations while Agrizzi admitted having no other information to confirm the correctness of his statement.
