Former public enterprises minister, Dr Malusi Gigaba briefly handed himself over to the National Prosecuting Authority's Investigating Directorate Against Corruption - IDAC - in Pretoria on Friday to discuss the potential of fraud and corruption charges being filed against him. He was not arrested as earlier speculated and the possible charges were not related to the irregular procurement of locomotives at TRANSNET as earlier reported. Gigaba later clarified that IDAC's probe relates to allegations that he received an undeserved benefit during his time in cabinet. Meanwhile on Thursday former Bosasa chief operations officer Angelo Agrizzi entered into a plea agreement with the State, admitting to charges of corruption and money-laundering linked to the company's controversial contracts with the Department of Correctional Services. Agrizzi received a 10-year sentence for each count of corruption and an additional 10 years for money-laundering but the sentences were wholly suspended for five years, effectively sparing him from serving time behind bars. To look at how these developments tie into the up-hill battle against corruption, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Advocate Paul Hoffman, Director at Accountability Now

Die Ondersoekdirektoraat verwerp 'n berig in Sunday World dat die arrestasie van die ANC se nasionale voorsitter Gwede Mantashe op hande is. Die berig lui Mantashe se komende inhegtenisneming hou verband met Bosasa-sekerheids-opgraderings by sy eiendomme in Gauteng en die Oos-Kaap. Die woordvoerder van die direktoraat, Henry Mamothame, sê egter hulle het nie oor die kwessie besluit of dit bespreek nie:

 Long time DA member and leader, James Selfe has died at the age of 68 after a protracted battle with cancer. Selfe was elected to South Africa's first democratic parliament in 1994 and served in the national assembly until he retired in 2021. He served in the Portfolio Committee  of Justice and Correctional Services and was Chair of the DA's Federal Council for almost 20 years until he resigned from it in 2019. In 2021 Selfe testified at the State Capture Commission about corruption in Correctional Services specifically with regards to Bosasa in his capacity as DA's Shadow Minister for Correctional Services since 2009. It was in that same year he retired from parliament as a result of ill health. SABC News reporter, Busi Chimombe filed this report.

In this episode of UNDICTATED, BizNews editor Alec Hogg sits down with Wayne Duvenage, CEO of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse, to discuss the arrest and legal troubles of Dudu Myeni — a close associate of Jacob Zuma and the former chairperson of South African Airways (SAA). Myeni, who was arrested near her Richards Bay home on Friday, faces corruption charges related to her involvement with BOSASA, a company infamous for public sector bribery. OUTA and the SAA Pilot's Association fought a long court battle with Myeni, ending in a 2020 judgement that declared her a delinquent director, marking the beginning of her decline from affluence to infamy.

Former South African Airways board chairperson Dudu Myeni and her co-accused are facing charges relating to the defunct Bosasa. Myeni and former Sondolo IT director, Trevor Mathenjwa were arrested on Friday and made a brief appearance in the Richards Bay Magistrate's Court on fraud and corruption charges. The pair were granted R10 000 bail each. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Sindisiwe Seboka, Spokesperson for the NPA's Investigating Directorate.

The suspended Pretoria chief magistrate Desmond Nair will be making representations on why he should not be prosecuted for corruption based on witness testimony from his misconduct hearing. Nair briefly appeared in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Friday. Prosecutor Bheki Manyathi placed it on record that Nair would be making representations on why he should not be prosecuted on a charge of corruption. It relates to security installation at his home by the controversial company Bosasa. The cost of the upgrade is said to be R200 000. Manyathi said the representations would be based on the testimony of two State witnesses during Nair's misconduct hearing which was held by the Magistrates Commission. However, the prosecutor said they still needed to obtain the transcript of the second witness' testimony, former Bosasa employee Richard le Roux, before making the representations. Le Roux implicated Nair in the State capture Inquiry. The State asked for a postponement to 30 November, which is only a provisional date. This is because if it finds in favour of Nair, the charges will be withdrawn and a court date won't be necessary. However, if Manyathi is not persuaded by the representations, a date in January 2024 has been set for pre-trial. Corruption charges News24 previously reported that Nair was charged with one count of corruption after allegedly accepting the installation of Bosasa-sponsored security systems at his Pretoria home, including a full electric fence, CCTV and alarm systems valued at R200 000. According to the charge sheet, Nair is accused of accepting a bribe from Bosasa in or near Silverton, Pretoria, in September 2016 while he was a judicial officer and the chief magistrate of Pretoria. News24 reported that Nair confirmed that security cameras were installed at his private residence, but said this was "pursuant to a private agreement".

The Executive Ethics Code is yet again in the spotlight- this time it involves the Public Protector's finding into the theft of millions of US dollars in cash from his Phala Phala game farm in Limpopo in February 2020. The Acting Public Protector advocate Kholeka Gcaleka found that President Cyril Ramaposa did not violate the Executive Ethics Code in the Phala Phala matter. Ramapho was accused of breaching the Executive Ethics Code and being in a conflict of interest between his constitutional obligations and his private interests arising from his alleged paid work at Phala Phala.  In 2022, the Constitutional Court upheld a Gauteng High Court judgment that found legislation in the Executive Ethics Code was unconstitutional and invalid as it did not require members of the executive to disclose "donations made to campaigns for their election to positions within political parties- this was about the donations that were made to Ramaphosa's "CR17" campaign for the ANC presidency...  At the time, the now suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane found that the president was in breach of the Executive Ethics Code for not disclosing an R500 000 donation to his campaign for the ANC presidency in 2017 which was received from former Bosasa chief executive Gavin Watson. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to the Director of Accountability Now, Advocate Paul Hoffman and Political Analyst, Sysman Motloung...

Suspended Public Protector, Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane says the 500-thousand rand Bosasa donation into president Cyril Ramaphosa's CR17 campaign for the ANC presidency was not declared to parliament. Advocate Mkhwebane continues to give evidence at parliament's section 194 committee enquiry into her fitness to hold office. Mkhwebane says the investigation into the Bosasa donation was not of her accord but rather a matter raised by the DA in parliament. Here is a snippet of how this engagement took place with Advocate Dali Mpofu leading the evidence..

Freedom under law has expressed deep concern about the killing of well-known insolvency practitioner Cloete Murray and his son Thomas. Board member, Judge Johann Krieger said the apparent assassination of the Bosasa liquidator poses a threat to the rule of law and to South Africa's constitutional democracy. The former Constitutional Court Judge weighs in on whether South Africa has become a mafia state and he does not mince his words for the Legal Practice Council that he calls "feckless" for failing to act against Adv Dali Mpofu. Judge Kriegler also offers solutions to the Stalingrad delaying tactics employed in the defences of former President Jacob Zuma, Judge John Hlope and suspended Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane which is costing the taxpayer millions.

Above and beyond the obligation to declare any personal or private financial or business interests, executive members will now have to disclose funds received for their internal party campaigns. On Tuesday, the Constitutional Court upheld a Gauteng High Court judgment that found legislation in the Executive Ethics Code was unconstitutional and invalid as it did not require members of the executive to disclose "donations made to campaigns for their election to positions within political parties". Handing down the unanimous judgment, Justice Steven Majiedt found the code "falls short of constitutional and statutory dictates of transparency, accountability, and openness". He added the current legislation around disclosures of donations for internal party elections undermined the Ethics Act and the conflict of interests regime essential to promoting "transparency and [dealing] with the pervasive corruption bedevilling" the country. Majiedt stressed that "the need for transparency in campaign donations must be understood against the backdrop of and the context of the pressing need to curb and strive towards eradicating corruption". The case is likely to have a bearing on donations to the campaigns of politicians seeking positions in their parties, especially the African National Congress (ANC) leading up to its December elective conference. The Constitutional Court judgment confirmed a ruling handed down by the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria in December last year. It found the Executive Ethics Code, in its current state, was unconstitutional and invalid for not requiring members of the executive to disclose "donations made to campaigns for their election to positions within political parties". The High Court gave President Cyril Ramaphosa a year to remedy the defects in the code, which the Constitutional Court also upheld on Tuesday. The judgment is not retrospective, meaning donations made to Ramaphosa's "CR17" campaign for the ANC presidency will not have to be made public. The case was brought by investigative journalism unit amaBhungane, as it sought confirmation of the High Court ruling. The Constitutional Court heard amaBhungane's case in May. The investigative news unit argued democracy "is diminished when unaccountable people and entities with unknowable resources bring extraordinary influence to bear on policy and the elected officials they have sponsored". It also stressed when politicians knew they could operate without the scrutiny brought by an effective watchdog system, they might be more likely to take advantage of the spoils of public office at the expense of the public good. amaBhungane took up the case after the High Court set aside Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's CR17 report in 2020. Mkhwebane found Ramaphosa in breach of the Executive Ethics Code for not disclosing a R500 000 donation to his campaign for the ANC presidency in 2017 which was received from former Bosasa chief executive Gavin Watson. At the time, the court deemed that under the current prescripts of the code, Ramaphosa was not legally obligated to disclose the donations he received for internal party elections because he had not personally benefitted from them. The outcome of the Ramaphosa case led to amaBhungane challenging the constitutionality of the Executive Ethics Code in a parallel process.

President Cyril Ramaphosa tabled the fourth part of the State Capture Inquiry's report with Parliament on Tuesday - and, in a turnaround from the African National Congress's (ANC's) previous stance, affected committees will deal with the published parts of the report. "Parliament confirms receipt of Part 4 of the Report of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into allegations of State Capture from the President of the Republic today. Previously, the President submitted Part 3 of the Commission's Report, which Parliament is in the process of implementing," reads a statement from Parliament's spokesperson Moloto Mothapo. "Part 4 of the Report comes at the time Parliament is finalising the process of establishing appropriate systems and mechanisms, consistent with its constitutional function, to oversee the implementation of the report. The report will be published in the Announcements Tablings and Committees (ATC) of Parliament for the attention of Members. "The Rules Committee, on the other hand, will at the appropriate time determine how best to process the report and the accompanying implementation plan once they are submitted on or before August by the President." Mothapo said, "In the interim, committees of Parliament will engage with the publicly available reports in their ordinary course of business." News24 reported on Monday that influential ANC MP, chair of chairs Cedric Frolick, and ANC MP in National Council of Provinces, Winnie Ngwenya, have been referred to Parliament's Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests for their part in the Bosasa-scandal. This was after a legal opinion from Parliament's legal services sat on Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula's desk for almost two months. Democratic Alliance deputy chief whip Siviwe Gwarube's attempts to get Parliament to deal with the published reports, as it pertains to Parliament, were stonewalled by senior ANC MPs on the National Assembly Programming Committee. The ANC alleged Parliament could only deal with the full report after Ramaphosa tabled it, with an implementation plan four months after its completion. This meant that Parliament would only look at it in mid-October. The legal opinion did not advise this, and neither did Ramaphosa when he tabled part three of the report in March. In another statement, Mothapo confirmed that Parliament is in "the process of establishing appropriate systems, consistent with its constitutional function, to process and oversee the implementation of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into State Capture Report". He also confirmed the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests "has been requested to investigate possible contraventions of the Code of Ethical Conduct and Disclosure of Members' Interest for Assembly and Parliament Council Members". "This applies only to current members who were serving in Parliament when any alleged transgressions took place." He didn't name Frolick and Ngwenya. Frolick has recently been elected as co-chair of the ad hoc committee that will exercise oversight over the state of disaster after the floods in KwaZulu-Natal, despite the Zondo cloud over his head. Mothapo said that, while the official submission of the reports is awaited, Parliament has already started working on systems based on publicly available copies of the reports. "Parliament's research department is currently processing the reports, summarising them into, among others, action plans to improve Parliament's execution of its constitutional mandate consistent with the corrective measures contained in the reports. "Parliament's Legal Services department has conducted an analysis of the reports and has generated a legal opinion, proposing a process Parliament should follow in dealing with the reports once officially submitted." He said Parliament had an obligation to implement corrective measures from the commission's reports, with regard to areas where Parliament had a role to play. "Similarly, Parliament has a responsibility to...

The State Capture Inquiry found facilities management group Bosasa engaged in industrial-scale corruption, paying hordes of government and ANC heavyweights tens of millions in cash bribes over 16 years to keep the tenders flowing. In part 2 of this explainer series on the third report released by the State Capture Inquiry regarding Bosasa-related evidence, it's all about who got what and the recommended actions they face. Some of the implicated remain in office and in positions of power. The Bosasa group was awarded government tenders to the value of over R2.3bn between 2000 and 2016, and engaged in widespread bribery to ensure government's tender stream remained constant.

Sustaining a criminal enterprise requires lots of cash to pay bribes. The Zondo Commission report details how controversial facilities management group Bosasa, almost turned getting their hands on cash into a full-time gig, paying almost R76m to South Africa's corrupt over 16 years. The third tranche of findings to come out of the State Capture Inquiry is divided into four volumes and deals exclusively with various aspects of Bosasa's alleged criminality. In total, the third volume is close to a thousand pages, making it impossible to digest into one explainer piece. Between 2000 and 2016, Bosasa would rake in over R2.3bn in tenders. According to Bosasa's former Chief Operations Officer, Angelo Agrizzi, the company paid out millions in bribes to government officials, ANC heavyweights and functionaries within state-owned entities. In part one of this explainer series on Bosasa, the vast majority of evidence you'll hear comes from Agrizzi. He spent more time on the stand at the inquiry than any other witness - a total of 13 days. Inquiry Chairperson Raymond Zondo ultimately found that Agrizzi's evidence is corroborated in various respects by the testimony of other witnesses, documentary and video proof.

ANC National Chairperson Gwede Mantashe says he will take Volume 3 of the State Capture Report on Judicial Review. The report has recommended that Mantashe, former president Jacob Zuma and Nomvula Mokonyane be investigated for corruption. The Zondo Commission found prima facie evidence of corruption against the trio, in connection with money they directly or indirectly received from Bosasa. For the latest on the findings from the State Capture report, here is SABC Specialist Researcher, Mr. Amil Umraw

Mineral resources minister Gwede Mantashe responded to the latest state capture report implicating him, saying he will take it for judicial review. He also maintained that the Bosasa sponsored security upgrades at three of his properties were innocent.

The third part of the state capture commission of inquiry's report has been handed over to President Cyril Ramaphosa and made public. The report reveals that senior ruling party officials received illicit payments from Bosasa. These include Mineral and Energy Affairs minister Gwede Mantashe, and Nomvula Mokonyane, the former water minister. Witnesses previously testified before the Zondo Commission that the company gave money to former President Jacob Zuma, paid for home-security upgrades for  Flo Letoaba spoke to Independent researcher and Author,  Dr Dale McKinley...

Former president Jacob Zuma has rejected the finding of the state capture inquiry that he “accepted gratification” from controversial state contractor Bosasa, which “held and sought to obtain contracts with government”. The finding is contained in part 3 of the state capture inquiry report, officially handed to the presidency on Tuesday. In a statement released early on Wednesday morning, the Jacob Zuma Foundation said the former president rejected the findings as he asserts he was not afforded an opportunity to be heard.

Angelo Agrizzi is the man who spilt the beans on Bosasa at the State Capture commission. In this interview, he also spills the beans on Gavin Watson's death, crooked and venal politicians (and how cheaply they can be bought) and how he was poisoned.

For tonight's Crime Time we are joined by whistle-blower, former Bosasa chief operations officer himself, Angelo Agrizzi, on his latest multi-billion rand corruption tell all book, 'Surviving the Beast - The ugly truths about state capture and why they tried to kill me'. Surviving The Beast is a memoir which rips open a can of worms, exposing two decades of untold greed, politicking, corruption, bribery and deep state capture - a detailed confession, exposing the intimate fraudulent workings of a company, under the cult-like leadership of Gavin Watson. Agrizzi is one of few people with a first-hand account of what really happened behind the closed doors of Bosasa. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest: Babalo Ndenze | Parliamentary Correspondent at EWN A day after the Constitutional Court dismissed the Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's bid to uphold her report on the Bosasa donation to the CR17 presidential election campaign, we speak to EWN's Babalo Ndenze about the DA's attempts to have her removed from office. Following the party's request, a panel of independent experts in February recommended an inquiry into misconduct and incompetence, two of the three constitutional grounds, alongside incapacity, for her removal from office by parliament. The parliamentary Section 194 inquiry committee has been established and parties have nominated their representatives. All that's left is for the committee to set a date for its first meeting See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
