Hundreds of Radio Africa employees are yet to be paid last month’s salary, causing a strain on their obligations.
The employees who include journalists at the Star newspaper, Star Digital, Radio Jambo, Classic FM, Homeboyz Radio among others, are yet to be informed the cause of salary delays, despite the company having a deal with the government to carry MyGov publication every Teusday.
“It’s now mid month, and nothing has hit our account. We are demoralised as we can’t even afford fare to report to work on Monday,” one of the employees said.
The situation is worse for Correspondents who haven’t received a penny for three months now. Neither the CEO nor Finance bosses have sent an email to explain the delay.
In September, the Company forced all the staff to sign a “voluntary” pay cut of 20% citing hard economic times, but with paycut comes salary delays.
Whatever is happening at Lion’s Place, only Martin Khafafa can tell.
