LISTEN: Bosasa bosses Agrizzi and Watson talk about influencing Zuma

accreditation

In the weeks leading up to the appointment of Shaun Abrahams as the country’s prosecutions boss, Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson bragged how he planned to lobby former president Jacob Zuma to appoint someone who would "protect" his allies at the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

A secret recording of a meeting between Watson, former Bosasa chief operations officer Angelo Agrizzi and former prisons boss Linda Mti on May 8, 2015, obtained by News24, reveals past and planned future meetings between Watson and Zuma.

Watson details plans to discuss with Zuma the appointment of a national director of public prosecutions (NDPP) and how Bosasa was a victim of an elaborate plot by the media and anti-ANC elements to discredit them.
