South African businessman and whistleblower

Angelo Agrizzi was the chief operating officer of Bosasa, a South African logistics company, until 2016. He is best known for his testimony to the Zondo Commission, during which he blew the whistle on the corrupt relationship between Bosasa and members of the South African government and governing African National Congress (ANC). His testimony followed a press statement released on the night of 21 August 2018, in which Agrizzi said that he had decided to "provide comprehensive details" about "racketeering, corruption and money laundering that I have been aware of over the last 18 years" at Bosasa.

Agrizzi grew up in Germiston in the former Transvaal. His family immigrated to South Africa from Italy. He is currently facing criminal corruption and bribery charges in connection with his time at Bosasa.
