Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Swazi Secrets,a company owned by King Mswati\u2019s mother, Queen Ntombi Tfwala has been refusing to pay salaries for its employees for the past six(6) months.<\/b><\/p>\n

Workers in eSwatini are paid as little as $90.00(R1500) per-month and despite the underpayment, some companies particularly those with links to Mswati and his mother would refuse to pay salaries on time and cannot be successfully taken to court.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments,Wander Mkhonza, the Secretary General of the Amalgamated Trade Union Congress of Swaziland(ATUSWA) said as a union, they demand the payment of the employees\u2019 salaries with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t understand why Indlovukazi(Queen) can do this to workers, this is creating a bad precedent,even their so called investors will refuse to pay salaries because the country\u2019s authorities are doing it. We demand the payment of the employees\u2019 salaries with immediate effect,\u201d said the ATUSWA Secretary General.<\/p>\n

Efforts were made to reach the Management of the company proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n

Swazi Secrets contacts details proved to be scarce and the landline was hardly functional.<\/p>\n

It has been disclosed that the employees cannot take the company to court, the Queen and her son King Mswati enjoy prosecution immunity in eSwatini and as a result, they violate human rights with impunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been working without pay for the past six(6)months and when we ask about our delayed salaries, we are threatened with dismissal,\u201dsaid one of the employees.<\/p>\n

Queen Ntombi Tfwala with her son King Mswati own collective assets worth billions, they accumulated their wealth through looting public funds.<\/p>\n

Like Tibiyo TakaNgwane,Tisuka, Provident Fund, Pension Fund, Usuthu Timber and the Sugar company, Swazi Secrets was established and disguised as a project to empower the citizens particularly women, however, it was subsequently grabbed by royalty for the benefit of the Queen.<\/p>\n

Mswati\u2019s mother was recently exposed after she established the Swaziland Women Economic Empowerment Trust(SWEET) and defrauded thousands of women in eSwatini by promising them a better life if they invest in her Trust Fund.<\/p>\n
