MBABANE:Leon Jacobz,the Managing Director of Eswatini Milling(Pty)Ltd says,Sipho Dlamini(83)is demanding pension from his company yet he was working for previous owners Swaki Investment Corporation.
It has been disclosed that,Swaki Investment Corporation trading as Swaziland Milling was previously owned by billionaire Natie Kirsh.
Responding to this Swaziland News on Friday when asked to clarify why the company was failing to pay the pension to the elderly,Leon Jacobz,the Eswatini Milling Managing Director(MD)said,the company was now under new Directors with no links whatsoever with Swaki or Swaki Pension Fund adding that,this has been explained several times to Dlamini.
“Swaziland Milling (Pty)Ltd has no relationship whatsoever with Swaki or the Swaki Pension Fund except that some of us were also employed by Swaki and were members of Swaki Pension Fund before all of those entities were closed down years ago,”said the Eswatini Milling Managing Director.
Efforts to reach billionaire Natie Kirsh through his alleged right-hand man Paul Friedlander proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.
But Mkhulu Sipho Dlamini,when speaking to this publication on Friday said,businessman Narthie Kirsh handed over the company to Jacobz who was one of his trusted servants.
“That Jacobz who now owns the company knows me very well,Kirsh handed over the company to him and in the process,I was not paid my pension.I want my pension and I was supposed to receive this money over twenty(20)years ago when I retired.Now I’m eight-three(83)years but I haven’t received my pension.I want my money,”he said.
