- The condition of former Bosasa COO turned whistleblower, Angelo Agrizzi, remains the same, his lawyer said.
- Agrizzi was rushed to a private hospital after his condition worsened.
- Last Wednesday, the Palm Ridge Commercial Crimes Court denied him bail.
Former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi is still in serious condition at the ICU, his lawyer said.
“There are no changes in his condition, but he is obviously still struggling. His condition is still very serious, but unfortunately there are no changes,” attorney Daniel Witz told News24 on Wednesday.
Witz also said the department of correctional services did not allow anyone to see him.
Under Level 1 restrictions, an inmate is only allowed one visit per month.
“I said this is a very different situation. But without permission, which we keep asking, the family cannot visit him. So, we have arranged a visit for the wife, but that’s it,” Witz said.

Last Wednesday, the Commercial Crimes Court of the Palm Ridge Magistrates Court denied Agrizzi bail, in a matter in which he faced corruption charges for allegedly making payments to former ANC deputy Vincent Smith.
After spending a night in prison, he was transferred to a public hospital.
On Monday, Agrizzi was rushed to a private hospital after his condition worsened.
At the time, Witz told News24 that they had received a call from the correctional services department around noon.
“[They said] that the treating physician at the public hospital advised them that they needed to be transferred to an ICU / intensive care center urgently because their condition was worsening and they did not have the facilities to treat it. ”
Agrizzi’s attorney has previously said they intend to appeal the denial of bail.
