Watson family attacks the 'vicious' media at memorial for former Bosasa boss 

The memorial service of former Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson kicked off on Friday morning with speeches and eulogies from his family members and business associates.

Valance Watson, Watson's brother, kicked off his eulogy by lambasting the media for its treatment of his brother: "Journalists tell you that I am a liar, but history is written by journalists who have hung heroes." He changed the quote of the movie Braveheart to include the word "journalists".

He said the media created a negative environment in South Africa and added that he was angry about the manner in which journalists covered Bosasa news and created a racist narrative that tore people apart.
