Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) is reportedly giving its workers at Pockets Hill in Harare and Montrose Studios in Bulawayo a daily diet comprising sadza, beans and cabbages.<\/p>\n

NewZimbabwe.com reported sources as saying the situation has continued for over a year now.<\/p>\n

ZBC journalists covering the ongoing Zimbabwe Agricultural Show (ZAS) in Harare, were denied allowances to buy lunch for themselves.<\/p>\n

The workers are said to be surviving on a burger, 500ml of water and a fizzy drink, the whole day.<\/p>\n

They are also being forced to walk into town to get transport to travel to the show after Public Service Commission (PSC) buses stopped ferrying commuters.<\/p>\n

According to a letter shared with newsrooms by one of the journalists, ZBC chief executive officer (CEO) Adelaide Chikunguru is to blame for the state of affairs. Reads the letter:<\/p>\n

When Chikunguru declared war against employees she really meant it and did not waste an opportunity to display her evil heart.<\/p>\n

She has made it a policy that no one receives an allowance for the ZAS event and that food will be transported from Pockets Hill to the Showground.<\/p>\n

The meal consists of a burger, a 500ml fizzy drink and 500ml of mineral water.<\/p>\n

Employees who are toiling in the sun are expected to have this for the whole day, that is 0800hrs-1630hrs; that is if you are lucky to get it because the meals are not even enough for everyone on the ground.<\/p>\n

For years, viewers and listeners have accused ZBC of offering poor quality programmes and this could be attributable to a demotivated and poorly paid workforce.<\/p>\n
