A spokesman for African Global Operations, formerly known as Bosasa, on Monday afternoon confirmed its chief executive Gavin Watson was the man killed in a single-car accident at the O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg in the early hours of the morning.
Police earlier confirmed a 73-year-old man had died after being involved in an accident.
"It is reported that the man was driving into the airport precinct when he allegedly lost control of his vehicle and collided with a concrete pillar holding up a highway bridge. The victim was certified dead on the scene by paramedics and a case of culpable homicide has been opened for investigation," police spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Katlego Mogale said.
Speaking on eNCA, AGO spokesman Papa Leshabane said Watson was driving a Toyota Corolla because the vehicle he usually drives was in for repairs after a mechanical problem was detected.
While the family had not visited the scene of the crash, relatives were in Johannesburg where they visited the morgue to identify his body.
