Dimension Data taken to court over allegedly paying black former executive less than colleagues

[konfab]

Dimension Data also said it was “alarmed” that Ngcaba would allege institutional racism in an organisation that he led for 12 years.

Someone needs protection from himself.

 

[hyperian]

He earned half a billion rand and he wants another R430 million.

What is he going to do with all that money?

He probably wants to buy the new PlayStation AND XBox.

 

[DailyTech]

Almost R42 million a year, now that's pure racism.

Dimension Data taken to court over allegedly paying black former executive less than colleagues

Andile Ngcaba is taking his former employer, Dimension Data, to court over allegations that the company paid him less than his white colleagues.

"Other Newspaper's Headline: Andile Ngcaba files R430m lawsuit against DiData over alleged remuneration discrepancy"

"MyBroadband Staff Writer's Headline: Dimension Data taken to court over alleged racism"

later you realise 'racism' is not even the core of the case, but that's after opening the link to the article

Andile Ngcaba is taking his former employer, Dimension Data, to court over allegations that the company paid him less than his white colleagues.

Ngcaba is claiming over R440 million in damages, including:

• R261 million worth of unpaid bonuses under Dimension Data’s long-term incentives payment schemes.
• R170 million in damages, as he believes Dimension Data has breached is obligations to avoid discriminatory practices.
• R10 million because Ngcaba’s “feelings and dignity were injured.”

Does this happen if you use dark mode as to blacks can't be racists

If they really paid him less because of his race and not his skills then they owe him but I think those figures are a bit greedy.

 

[Bobbin]

I suppose we will see the EFF running rampant at The Campus now, like the next Clicks store.

 

[Petec]

Sjo must be hard going though life with that amount of oppression

But, but, it’s racist colonial money, so he will have to spend it begrudgingly. Poor feller.

 

[Petec]

Please, I am sorry!!! Please just don't burn down Nkandla!!! I beg of you! Don't burn Nkandla!

Lol, one can’t. That place has a MOERSE fire pool.

Yoh, Bobo didn't pay the water bill since 2018 and VBS bank doesn't want to increase the bond!

The thing with Ngcaba is that he is quite the achiever if you look at his portfolio. There must be something equity which motivated Ngcaba. The BB-BEE consortium and the 'related' Elephant consortium obtained quite the share in DiData (MEA) in the 2000s, as well as later in Telkom, and it is not that this consortium was without controversy. I just get the idea that something happened, something didn't amount to as desired and now it is a vendetta pushed through under the guise of the Companies Act and a good dose of 'perceived' discrimination.

Unlike Nkosana Makate, Ngaba has the means to drag this out for as long and hard as he desires, until of course 'compensation' is reached.

EDIT:

To add, I just think it has something to do with this,

Business opportunists. No different to being a corporate raider. Maybe in a few decades he'll give back all the money through philanthropy to fix up his tarnished reputation like Carl Icahn.

What is he going to do with all that money?

Suggestions (or dreams!!!), for example: Maths teachers and tutors. Toilets in schools. Clinics. Toilets in clinics. Maths and proper functioning IT in Home Affairs. Maths and working staff in the Post Office. Budgetting skills for children, parents, teachers and especially for managers and planners. Maths. Did I say Maths? Oh, yes... a number of times.
