LAWYER Sidumo Mdladla has claimed that the late businessman Victor Gamedze’s wife is ill-advised by certain individuals for their own benefit.
The lawyer refuted all the claims levelled against him by Gamedze’s widow, Lungile Gamedze, through her attorney, Mlungisi Khumalo from Khumalo Attorneys. He was fulfilling a promise to react to the allegations earlier put to him when he acknowledged that he had receiced a corrrespondence containing same.
Mdladla said he was concerned by the fact that it may well be that there are some individuals who have seen the demise of the late Gamedze as a spring- board to success by constantly ill-advising Mrs Gamedze, whom our office still respects. This is contained in a public statement that the lawyer issued yesterday.
Among the allegations that Mdladla was accused of in the letter from Gamedze’s wife were that he tried to defraud the estate of the late Gamedze by approaching a certain Thokozani Nkambule to generate a fraudulent invoice in favour of Eswatini Mobile. Another allegation against Mdladla was that which relates to some purported sale of shares of Stage 1 Connections (PTY) LTD to Swazi Mobile Chairman Michelo Shakantu, which Mdladla also labelled as untrue. The last allegation was that which relates to Mdladla transferring a sum of E25 million from Gamedze’s estate account to his personal account, which he also refuted through the public statement.
Mdladla said it was clear that he has not at any point acted out of his mandate nor has he acted in such a manner as to prejudice the estate account.
“The allegations are, therefore, incorrect and they were made as some kind of blackmail to force my hand to accede to certain demands and to finally exit as an executor. I am aware that there will be other efforts to tarnish my name as long as I hold the office of executorship. I am prepared to withstand such insults, threats and acts of defamation, so long as I act as an executor and in the best interest of all stakeholders, not one,” he said.
