ZIMBABWE Workers at the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) are said
to be threatening strike action after accusing management of looting
licence fees and splashing out on luxury cars, while failing to pay
salaries on time. Reports say workers got their April salaries 4 weeks
late (around the 20th May) and the same situation is anticipated for the
May salaries.
Its alleged top managers at the state propaganda station have splashed out
on luxury vehicles worth more than US$1 million. In addition they are
being accused of buying generators and plasma screen televisions using
money looted from licence fees. This money is meant to finance the
operations of the broadcaster, including paying salaries.
Chief Executive Officer Happison Muchechetere denied the allegations as
mere 'bar talk' and asked if those making the allegations were auditors.
He admitted buying generators, but argued these were used by his managers
to monitor their programmes when there was no electricity. He also boasted
that ZBC had the highest paid employees in the country.
ZBC now relies on licence fees to fund its operations after most
advertisers shunned the station owing to its annoying and relentless ZANU
PF propaganda. Zimbabweans in urban areas, who have the money, have
installed satellite dishes to watch foreign television channels.
