Ex-manager pleads not guilty
The State yesterday put charges to the former marketing manager of MultiChoice Namibia and she promptly denied that she had defrauded the company of more than N$2 million.
Manga Nawa-Mukena, a local socialite who excelled as a model, yesterday pleaded not guilty after the investigations into the charges against her were finalised.
It is alleged that between the period of 1 April 2013 and March 17 this year, she had acted wrongfully, unlawfully, falsely and with the intent to defraud MultiChoice Namibia.
She allegedly used her position as marketing manager at the company to entice her employer to pay Kundana (Pty) Limited for services that were never rendered.
She is alleged to have falsified a total of 80 invoices for advertising services by presenting them together with banking details that were not that of Kundana but allegedly, her own.
According to the State, she, over a period of three years with the 80 invoices managed to pocket an amount of N$2 088 071 at the expense of MultiChoice Namibia.
The prosecution states that the accused knew very well that the 80 invoices were falsified and no advertising services were ever rendered to her employer by the entity in question.
She was released on N$50 000 bail with very stringent conditions.
Magistrate Gerrit Brand Pletzen postponed the matter to 17 November for the decision of the prosecutor-general.
Tatelo Cuthbert Lusepani prosecuted while Obed Sibiya is representing the accused.
