Call for probe into government contracts with Bosasa


The Democratic Alliance has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to institute an independent audit on all government contracts with Bosasa.

Party leader, Mmusi Maimaine, said that the testimony of former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi’s before the Zondo Commission had "shattered the myth that corruption in the ANC was simply a feature of former president Jacob Zuma and the Gupta family".

He said it should come as no surprise that the awarding of ANC government contracts to Bosasa was tainted with allegations of bribery, corruption, and fraud. Many of these contracts remained active.

In this light, the DA’s legal team had written to Ramaphosa to "immediately call for an independent audit on Bosasa’s dealings and contracts held with government and state-owned enterprises.

"We have requested that the president responds with these undertakings by no later than 29 January 2019 as this matter is urgent,” Maimane said.

He said the president could not continue to sit on his hands, being selective on investigating corruption.
