NWR hearings postponed
Tileni Mongudhi
THE Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) has postponed disciplinary hearings against three of its managers whom the company suspended in February this year.
The Namibian understands that the postponement was necessitated because of a lack of witnesses to testify at the hearings against the three managers. None of the parties involved in the hearings could provide further information as all parties refused to comment stating that the case is still ongoing.
It has also come to light that one case, involving Senior Internal Auditor Panduleni Ndilula, was already completed and that people were anticipating its outcome. NWR sources said unlike the other three, his case was concluded. Sources further added that Ndilula was suspended and charged with misconduct because he allegedly saw information not intended for him nor was it relevant to his position at the company.
Sources further added that the charge emanated from an IT audit conducted at the company, which allegedly revealed that Ndilula received his emails from his superior Jerry Shangadi, who is the head of the internal audit department and from IT manager Ruben Francisco. Ndilula is allegedly charged because he failed to report that his superior forwarded him an email that was not intended to him or relevant to his job.
Sources also said that the alleged close ties between the company that conducted the IT audit and NWR acting managing director Zelna Hengari were also brought up at the hearings. The Namibian reported in April that the IT audit was done on instruction of Hengari and that sources alleged Hengari had close ties with NamTech ICT Solutions, the company that conducted the audit. Thomas Jonas of Namtech was called to testify at the hearings last week. He however refused to comment saying he had a “non disclosure” agreement with NWR.
Ndilula was suspended alongside Shangadi, Francisco and Diana Mugaviri, who is the company’s operations manager.
The four were suspended earlier this year for alleged “espionage” after it was discovered that the group supposedly had access to other managers’ email correspondence.
The Namibian has reported that Francisco gave Shangadi and his department access to managers’ email correspondence as a result of an internal investigation carried out by the Internal Audit department. Shangadi was mainly investigating two senior managers, Hengari and Seblon Chicalu who is the acting head of human resources at NWR.
NWR internal audit division then submitted reports to the board listing transgressions allegedly committed by the two.
NWR sources said that some of the charges had to do with divulging confidential company information to outsiders, and conflict of interest. Hengari and Chicalu allegedly championed the move to suspend the four.
