Former Bosasa COO and state capture whistle-blower Angelo Agrizzi was ordered by the Randburg Magistrate’s court on Thursday to pay R200 000 for using the K-word in a clip that was heard in the state capture commission.
He appeared in the Equality Court after the South African Human Rights Commission lodged a claim of discrimination and hate speech against Agrizzi.
During Agrizzi’s testimony at the state capture commission of inquiry, an audio clip was played. He was heard using the k-word numerous times while laughing with those he was in conversation with.
Papers presented at court Thursday show that Agrizzi has agreed to pay R200, 000 to the Barney Mokgatle Foundation in Alexandra, as a sign of reparation.
Agrizzi and the commission had discussed the settlement during a meeting on June 13. Their agreement was made a court order on Thursday.
