"In this astonishing corruption memoir, former Bosasa Chief Operating Officer and whistleblower, Angelo Agrizzi rips open a legacy of secrecy, exposing two decades of untold greed, politicking, corruption, racism, bribery and deep state capture. Inside the Belly of the Beast is a mind-blowing exploration of the fraudulent workings of a company, founded on deep deception, under the cult-like leadership of the Master himself, Gavin Watson. Having been intimately involved with Bosasa since its inception, having worked and travelled side-by-side with Watson, and having witnessed his unique style of bribery and corruption during this period - something that most certainly assisted in bringing South Africa to her knees during Zuma's rule - Agrizzi is one of few people with a first-hand account of what really happened behind the closed doors of Bosasa. In January, 2019, Agrizzi made his first appearance to testify at the Zondo Commission. His ongoing testimony continues to be heard."--
