Japan NTT subsidiary company sued by Andile Ngcaba over racism
by Johnse Na Andile NgcabaSouth Africa’s tech
company Dimension Data is in a legal war with its former chairman Andile Ngcaba
over racism issues and unfair remuneration. Andile Ngcaba served the company
for 12 years and took the matter to court when he realized that his white counterparts
had been paid more than him throughout the years. Andile Ngcaba also claims
that he was removed from the incentive scheme by the company from which his
staff benefitted. Although the company has denied all these allegations made
against them, Andile Ngcaba continues the legal war and demands justice from
the high court.
In the most recent
situation of this legal war, the Dimension data lawyer team had placed an
application before the judge to go over the reports claimed by Andile Ngcaba.
However, Ngcaba’s lawyer dismissed the application saying it is a delaying
tactic by the company.
But the judge, Van
Oosten, has granted the application placed by the company and further mentioned
that Ngcaba’s arguments are “all without merit”.
Andile Ngcaba said
that the company Global CEO promised Ngcaba his bonus during the annual
performance review and has failed to do so, leaving him with unpaid bonuses for
him 12 years of work in the company. Andile Ngcaba has also served as the
director-general of the department of communication under Nelson Mandela and
Thabo Mbeki. He says that he is hurt by the racist behaviour towards him from
the company he served for 12 years. The pay gap between him and his white
counterparts surprised him when he found out about it in 2017.
Andile Ngcaba says
it is a matter of institutional racism and no one should have to go through
something like this. If Andile Ngcaba wins this legal dispute against the
company Dimension Data in the high court, there will be equal pay for equal work
in corporate South Africa.
The NTT subsidiary
also accuses Ngcaba of not coming with the racial issue in 12 years during his
services to which Andile Ngcaba responds he only got to know about the pay gap
in the year 2017 before leaving the company in 2018.
The whole issue has
turned the relationship between the former chairman and the company sour. The
court date is yet to be fixed since the postponed date. This is a matter of
every worker fighting institutional racism in their workplace.
