THE BOSASA BILLIONS: How the ANC sold its soul for braai packs, booze and cash | IOL Business Report

CAPE TOWN - James-Brent Styan, the author of “Steinhoff inside SA’s Biggest Corporate Crash” is at it again, this time with an offering entitled “The Bosasa Billions”.

Styan, who describes this as some of his best work yet, tells how President Cyril Ramaphosa - the man tasked with reforming the country- became entangled in the web himself, and how it sparked a political firestorm that has threatened to engulf his presidency. This is the story of how one company hijacked the state to establish an extensive tender network stretching right to the top of the ANC government.

Adv. Paul Pretorius chips in: “Stop there. That reference to Monopoly money . . .” Agrizzi lifts his left hand sideways, palm up and shrugs. He grins: “It was a frequent reference by Mr Watson. Cash was nothing in the company. It was just money. It was paper.” Zondo wants to know more. “Is there any special meaning to be given? Why is he referring to it as Monopoly money?”
