Are there standards for employment?

I have read many articles on the internet about the new NHRA Managing Director. There is a lot said about his past and current business relationships. I have decided to put pen to paper and let you make the decisions you want to make regarding the NHRA Managing Director. Red flags crop up.

Why Kelly deputy CEO was removed It seems the R12m judgement awarded against his company, explains it.
Nicola Mawson* / 7 September 2010 13:10

Mthunzi Mdwaba’s removal from the board of listed recruitment company Kelly Group (JSE:KEL) has been linked to a R12 million judgement awarded to Tarsus Technologies, against him and two other partners in a failed ITinfrastructure company.

Tarsus took Mdwaba and his two other partners in the failed Sourcecom venture to court, after the empowered company failed to pay its debts, and won a summary judgement against the trio last September, it has been revealed.

Mdwaba was “removed” from his role as Kelly Group deputy CEO and board director on 24 August. Kelly issued a vague statement to the market, announcing that Mdwaba had been “removed” from the board, but remained in the company’s employ.

Sources within the company have attributed Mdwaba’s removal to a personality clash between him and current Kelly CEO Grenville Wilson, whose shoes he was meant to fill next month.

Subsequently, it has transpired that Kelly may have used the outstanding R12 million, as claimed by Tarsus Technologies, owed by the now-defunct Sourcecom, as an excuse to oust Mdwaba.

Tarsus Technologies claimed the R12 million from Mdwaba jointly and severally, after empowered company Sourcecom failed a few years ago. Mdwaba and his partners had signed surety for Sourcecom’s debts, after the company was bailed out about eight years ago.

Forced out?

Mdwaba has reportedly appealed the judgment and is in the process of trying to settle the matter. However, say sources within Kelly, the judgment has been used as an excuse to drive Mdwaba out of the company.

ITWeb has heard that Wilson had expressed concerns about the Tarsus judgment against Mdwaba, saying that it would tarnish Kelly’s brand. In addition, Wilson is believed to be concerned that Mdwaba would be sequestrated, which would prevent him from being a director of a company.

Mdwaba became Kelly’s deputy CEO when the recruitment company bought IT training firm Torque IT two years ago, for R38 million. At the time, the agreement included a succession plan that would see Mdwaba step into Wilson’s shoes in October. It now seems unlikely this will happen.

Legal battles
Lithalelanga, which was owned by Mdwaba and two other partners, rescued Sourcecom from liquidation in 2003. However, it failed to secure the R28 million in financing it needed to keep the company going and eventually conceded defeat about two years ago.

Absa (JSE:ASA), which initially loaned Sourcecom R7 million, was granted a judgement against Mdwaba in the middle of last year.

Mdwaba’s share of the debt came to about R2 million with interests and costs. This amount has been paid, and the judgement is in the process of being removed from Mdwaba’s name.

However, an ongoing dispute with Tarsus over R12 million that is owed for stock that was bought and not paid for, has yet to be sorted out. Tarsus, which belongs to MB Technologies, was granted a summary judgement against Mdwaba and two other plaintiffs for R12 million last September.

The judgement, a copy of which is in ITWeb’s possession, was against Mdwaba, Lyndon Barends and Luvuyo Lubobo in their personal capacity as shareholders of Lithalelanga.

Kelly has previously declined to comment on the Sourcecom issue, and Tarsus declined to comment on the matter. Mdwaba has also declined to comment.

’N DIKDING in die mediabedryf het na bewering nie twee keer gedink om sy broer en sy gesin uit hul huis te sit nie.

Lyndon Barends, hoof­uitvoerende beampte van Primedia Sport, het onlangs ’n trok mét sekerheidswagte na die woning in Connaught Estate, Elsiesrivier, gestuur.

Barends se broer Benni en sy vrou Avril woon in die huis.

Avril sê sy was vreesbe­vange toe sy die groot Nigeriese manne met batons voor haar huis sien.

Sy sê hulle het ál haar meubels uitgedra en wou die slotte verander.

Hulle is egter gestop toe Avril die polisie gaan haal.

Avril vertel: “Hulle wou nie die uitsettingsbevel vir my wys nie.

“Toe die polisie dit vra, het hulle opgemerk dat daar nie ’n stamp daarop is nie.

“Hulle moes toe ál die furniture weer uit die trok laai.”

Volgens Avril het sy en haar gesin sowat drie jaar gelede in die huis getrek oor haar skoonma, wat alleen gebly het, baie siek geword het.

Avril sê: “Ons het altyd vir haar kos gebring en my kind het ook soms by haar geslaap.

“Ons het toe vir Lyndon gesê dis nie reg dat mammie so alleen moet bly nie.

“Hy het ons toe gevra of ons nie maar by haar wil intrek nie oor sy vrou nie wil hê ons ma moet by hulle bly nie.

“Toe ons in die huis woon, het ons verander­inge aangebring oor Lyndon en sy vrou, Estee, ons belowe het dat hulle die huis vir ons gaan gee.”

Avril sê egter hulle het met ’n groot skok gehoor Barends het die huis onder hulle uit verkoop oor die ander broers glo ontevrede was oor hulle daar woon.

Barends het toe glo aan hulle gesê dat hy vir hulle ’n ander huis gaan koop.

Avril sê daar het ook niks van gekom nie.

Estee het gesê sy kan nie veel praat nie omdat Barends met hulle ge-deal het.

Barends het vanuit Londen aan Son gesê hy wil nié kommentaar lewer nie omdat dit ’n privaat familie-saak is.

Barends sê: “As Avril na die media wil gaan, is dit haar reg, maar ek het besluit om nié kommentaar te lewer nie.”

CONFIRMED: Liverpool Academy of SA closed down
Updated July 5, 2016, 9:56 a.m. | By Benedict Ngwenya

The Liverpool Academy of South Africa has been closed down due to financial problems.

LIVERPOOL ACADEMY-FACEBOOK
The academy started in Durban in 2014 and in recent months had also branched out to Cape Town and Johannesburg.

It charged R700 per kid per month and R2000 per kid for a three-day coaching camp.

The South African Football Football Coaches Association had disapproved of the academy from the very start.

Listen to the Director of Coaching to SAFCA, Sudesh Singh speaking out against the academy right here.

In recent months the academy has been in dire financial straits. It has not been able to buy kit for their league teams and to pay permanent staff and the coaches since March 2016.

The Director of the Liverpool Academy, Lyndon Barends explains the decision to close it down below:

Go to the website of Eastern Cape Radio to hear what the MD says.

There is a lot said about the new MD. With all this negativity written about the new NHRA Managing Director, I started to ask myself why the NHRA did not find this out before they took him on. Everything I have stated is freely available on the worldwide web.

This can not be the same man surely? If it is well then the incompetence shown on a daily basis by the NHRA will never improve. Who appointed this man and what vetting was done?

How did this man get the job he holds?

The mind boggles.

Truthsayer is this genuine or fake news? I can not believe that this is the same man as the NHRA CEO.

This is all GENUINE news freely available on the internet. all you need to do is google the name LYNDON BARENDS.

You will find that he is the SECRETARY GENERAL of the African Entrepreneurs Council www.aec.org.za .It is an elite organisation of African Entrepreneurs and Industrialist. :woohoo:

I always thought that the job of Managing Director in any organisation is a full time job. not for the NHRA MD.

He is on the Council of the University of the Western Cape. Have a look at that website.

Even NOSEWEEK has reported on him. :sick:

When I originally checked Mr Barends out I saw he had held senior posts at Standard Bank
and could not understand why anybody leaves such employment where he had moved upwards
3 times in as many years
Seems to have moved many times in the last 12 years so odds are that the
trend will continue
Would like to know how he was found for a job about which he knew nothing

The normal procedure to fill a position as senior as Barends would be to source internally if possible, and if no suitable candidate existed, then outsource externally. Any institution worth it's salt would hire a well established agency to headhunt someone who filled the necessary criteria. A comprehensive background check involving previous employment history, verification of qualifications, establish clear criminal and credit checks and then initial approaches and interviews would be done. Once this process were complete, a shortlist would be presented to the client who would then peruse these candidates and they would invite their preferred candidates for an initial interview. This interview should be conducted by executive managers/directors and the chosen candidate subjected to rigorous checks to establish his/her bona fides.

I am appalled that someone who seems to have these amount of skeletons in his closet was even considered for the position, nevermind make the shortlist. The question now must be asked how this happened, or more likely why this happened. Who interviewed this man and who made the decision to appoint him?

State capture....horse racing industry capture???

Who is trying to capture the industry....who is the most powerful man in racing ATM? Is there any connection between him and Lyndon?

Join the dots..

OTA I remember when LB was appointed . I wrote a comment on SP that the process was not followed properly in his appointment. I still believe in my comments never mind all the above.

After no response as usual and tge normal bulldozer attitude the only comment I remember off hand was from the Directors of WC prougly basically to keep myour comments to myself and that the Directors had appointed LB. So maybe ask VT aka the Viking chairman of RA Cape Town
