EMPLOYEE WANTS BOSS TO TESTIFY IN DC

MBABANE - An employee of Ndallahwa and Company is alleged to have prepared falsified financial statements using the company’s stamp, letterhead and stationery.

Ndallahwa and Company is one of the country’s reputable audit firms
Futhi Vilane, who has since been suspended from work, is also alleged to have enriched herself by collecting fees for unlawful jobs on behalf of the company.  She is now facing charges of misconduct.

Vilane has filed an urgent application at the Industrial Court, where she is seeking an order staying and/or suspending her ongoing disciplinary hearing chaired by Alice Tembe, pending finalisation of her application.

She is further seeking an order directing Joseph Ndallahwa (majority shareholder in the company) and Ellen Kirk to attend the disciplinary hearing for purposes of testifying.

The applicant told the court that Kirk and Joseph, who was her boss, were competent and compellable witnesses in her disciplinary hearing.
She highlighted that the main allegations and evidence of the employer against her, was that she fraudulently prepared financial statements for NATFIO Trust.

Vilane averred that she had evidence to prove that the said financial statements were not fraudulently prepared. According to the applicant (Vilane), the financial statements were prepared under the strict instruction of Joseph Ndallahwa, after he was instructed by client Ellen Kirk.
