Agrizzi racism case postponed

Former Bosasa Chief Operating Officer Angelo Agrizzi’s hate speech case in the Equality Court has been postponed to 27 June.

The matter relates to a recording containing racially offensive words, produced during his testimony at the state capture inquiry earlier this year.

In an audio clip that was played at the inquiry, Agrizzi is heard referring to Joe Gumede and Papa Leshabane with the k-word.

The parties will likely meet early next month to discuss a possible settlement of R200, 000 and sensitivity training for Agrizzi as an alternative to trial.

While on the stand at the inquiry, Agrizzi admitted to being a racist.

The South African Human Rights Commission had taken the former Boasasa COO to court over his remarks.
