I would recommend seeking a legal practitioner. Clearly conspiracy comes to mind and if he can proof no extra income and they cannot give effective evidence of misconduct then he was wrongfully dismissed.
A wrongful dismissal and conspiracy points to victimisation and it is worth noting that if there was no neutral chairman then the first hearing can be dismissed as a neutral chairman is part of the criteria for a hearing. Second thing to consider is representation? Was he represented? This too may be of some concern to the CCMA.
It is also within your right to ask for a lie detector test on the members that testified against him. It would be better if the company has no pervious dealings with the people that would conduct the test.
You can also point out to your legal practitioner that your evidence was dismissed outright however in a court case financial dealings will be considered as evidence. I hope it helps a bit.
Remember no one can force anyone to do anything in a hearing and you are allowed to escalate regardless of the outcome.
Also you need not accept any offer that is on the table and don't allow anyone to force you to accept anything.
