JOHANNESBURG – The Johannesburg High Court is expected to hear a case of alleged unfair remuneration between IT giant Dimension Data and its former executive, Andile Ngcaba on Tuesday.
The businessman was CEO of the company for 12 years and claims to have discovered that he was paid less than his white colleagues while working for the company.
Ngcaba also claimed that team members who reported to him were paid more than he was.
He claims more than R440 million in damages from the company.
The case of the prominent businessman is one that has caught the attention of many South Africans working in the corporate world.
Ngcaba said it learned of the alleged breach of the equal pay agreement in 2016 during a Dimension Data meeting in the Middle East.
Her spokesperson, Yolande Tabo, said Ngcaba would not take this on her back and wanted what was owed to her.
“He claims more than R440 million in damages and the actual compensation that would have been owed him, as well as defamation stemming from this racial slur and the suggestion that he is greedy.”
Dimension Data has denied that it unfairly discriminated against Ngcaba, saying he was being “greedy” because he received around R500,000 of the profits from the company’s BEE scheme.
