QUINTON THREATENS MEMBERS WITH SUSPENSION – TEMBE

MBABANE – Former NAPSAWU President, Quinton Dlamini is alleged to be threatening members of the union who voted for his suspension.

This, according to National Public Service and Allied Workers Union (NAPSAWU) General Secretary Celumusa Tembe, justified the reason for suspending the former president.
Dlamini was suspended from participating in all activities of the union for allegedly concluding a house purchase deal without the organisation’s mandate.

The house is situated at Trelawney Park in Manzini.
Dlamini is accused of having purchased the house without the consent of the executive of the union.
He was served with a letter of his suspension on April 5, 2018. The house was owned by Nompumelelo Vilakati.
In NAPSAWU’s replying papers, Tembe informed the court that the union intended to approach the bank for the total amount owed to the house before concluding the deal.
He alleged that Dlamini never came with the final draft of the deed of sale until their term of office elapsed in 2013.

Tembe further alleged that Dlamini nonetheless went ahead and signed the deed of sale before it was finalised by the NEC.
On Tuesday, Industrial Court Judge President Sifiso Nsibande issued an interim order directing NAPSAWU to reinstate Dlamini, who currently occupies the position of Manzini branch chairperson. The matter will be heard on Monday.
Tembe also accused Dlamini of interfering with the on-going investigations regarding the matter.

He was suspended pending the outcome of a Commission of Inquiry which Dlamini is alleged to be avoiding.
The general secretary informed the court that Dlamini was allegedly persistently interfering with the investigation which meant that the union was justified to suspend him.

Instead of presenting himself to appear before the commission, Dlamini is alleged to have shunned the process despite receiving an invitation letter dated April 6, 2018.
Tembe alleged that Dlamini was the only member of the union who has failed to appear before the Commission.

“His failure to avail himself to the commission is a clear sign of ill-discipline,” said Tembe.
He further told the court that Dlamini allegedly failed to apologise for his failure to appear before the commission.
NAPSAWU, according to Tembe, does not have any ulterior motive against him.
