MBABANE – Former SIPA employee, Zizwe Vilane, is set to be paid close to E700 000 by the company.


This comes after the two parties reached an agreement of settlement which was made an order of the High Court.
Vilane held the position of Director of Foreign Investments at SIPA. SIPA is an acronym for the Swaziland Investment Promotion Authority.


According to the settlement, SIPA will pay Vilane the sum of E683 115.96.
The agreement comes after Vilane took SIPA to court in 2015 challenging his dismissal from the organisation and arguing that it was both procedurally and substantively unfair.


After his application, SIPA claimed that his dismissal was both procedurally and substantively fair, which led to the dispute remaining unresolved.


Eventually, a certificate of unresolved dispute was issued by the Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration Commission (CMAC) on April 24, 2015.
when an application for determination of unresolved dispute was filed in court,
Vilane argued that he had performed all his obligations under his employment contract and remained employed until November 29, 2014 when the company unlawfully terminated his contract.


At the time his contract was terminated, Vilane was earning a gross monthly salary of E56 926.33.
