Bosasa CEO, Gavin Watson has been killed in a car accident.
The CEO of Bosasa, now trading as African Global Group, was implicated in corruption and bribery at the state capture inquiry.
His name repeatedly came up at the Zondo commission.
A witness at the inquiry alleged that Watson paid President Cyril Ramaphosa's son from his personal account.
Ramaphosa initially said the R500, 000 payment was made to his son for services rendered.
The President, however, later retracted the answer and clarified that it was a donation to his ANC presidential campaign.
Gain Watson died in a car accident
Chippo
I saw the car and there is no way it could have been accidental. That type of accident means that somebody was driving at a hell of a speed in an area where I believe the speed limit is about 60 kms per hour and the car was basically destroyed on the drivers side and that could only happen at a higher speed than 60 kms. More likely suicide rather than an accident,
The more the reports develop - the more it looks like "funny business" Watson left his BMW at the Bosassa Office on Friday and signed out a Toyota for usage over the weekend and the Bosassa management had a prayer meeting yesterday morning and then the accident this morning.
Weird - not so? One could be very sure that the billions stolen in the case will have been laundered by now and his car will be left to his family together with a few hundred million missing - th Government will struggle to recover anything from the crooks.

Thats a really shit assumption to have mike.
Someone speeding in a 60 zone, had a terrible crash.
So it must be suicide.
#FransSteynWanna take a bet? He was to give evidence to an Enquiry of SARS tomorrow on Bosasa's tax fraud tomorrow, Anything else coming out?
Note: Gavin Watson’s death comes only a week after Barry Eugene Farber, founder of the law firm (Edelstein Farber Grobler) into whose ABSA bank account Bosasa deposited R500 000 donation from its boss Gavin Watson for the CR17 camping also died, mysteriously, in his sleep.

... other than for the families. I feel for the families of these f#ckers.
No we have the latest twist in the tai; pm this issue:-
"Corruption-accused former COO of Bosasa Angelo Agrizzi has said that it is ''very plausible'' that his recently deceased former boss Gavin Watson may have been trying to flee the country when he died on Monday.
News24 earlier reported that it had seen a copy of the Germiston mortuary's registry that lists Gavin Joseph Watson, aged 71-years old, as the deceased of Monday morning's horrific car accident at OR Tambo International Airport.

According to a law enforcement officer, who did not wish to be named, the crash occurred at 05:05, on the road leading up to the drop-off point at the airport.
It is understood that the vehicle collided with the pillar of a bridge after he allegedly lost control. The officer described the scene as "horrific".
"I just heard the news now. Shame. It's tragic hey," said Agrizzi as he spoke to Tumisang Ndlovu on
Asked if he felt that the truth would now never be known about the controversial businessman and his role in alleged state capture, Agrizzi said Watson had never rebutted the testimony he had given at the state capture inquiry.
"But yes, it's very sad that he passed on. I mean for his family, for his kids, for his grandchildren. My condolences to them."
Asked about public speculation that Watson was attempting to flee the country and justice, Agrizzi said he had heard there were stories alleging that."
If he did make a booking on a flight from the airport t a foreign destination it may well te ll the whole story,
"If you consider the charges that would come against him, I mean, it would be very plausible," he said.
News24 earlier reported that the deceased former CEO of embattled Bosasa/African Global Operations was due to testify at an inquiry into his tax affairs on Tuesday.
"My heart goes out to the family and that, but what he did was wrong, and he's probably having to answer for it right now," Agrizzi concluded.
His death seems very convenient for some other important bigwigs...
