Braamfontein - The EFF has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to cleanse his Cabinet of all ANC leaders implicated in the corruption scandals linked to controversial facilities management company Bosasa.

The party was addressing the media on Wednesday at its headquarters in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, where it weighed in for the first time on the explosive testimony by former Bosasa chief operating officer Angelo Agrizzi at the Zondo commission into state capture.

Agrizzi has revealed how the company allegedly lined the pockets of top politicians and government officials with monthly illicit bribes in return for contacts and political protection.

EFF leader Julius Malema said the party was not surprised by Agrizzi’s testimony, adding that he would likely be targeted by those whose corrupt dealings would be exposed.

“Many prominent politicians of the ANC, as expected, members of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and correctional services have been implicated in despicable acts of money laundering and corruption allegations. As a point of departure we call upon heightened security and protection of Mr Agrizzi because some of the individuals he has implicated in his testimony have a history of killing those who they disagree with,” Malema said.
