A military-backed broadcaster just got slammed for not paying its staff for months. A labor tribunal ruled against Nkululeko Rusununguko Television after the station failed to provide salaries to over seventy employees. Arbitrator Patience Kavuru labeled the practice as unlawful, rejecting the company's request to settle the debt through a delayed payment plan.

The case was brought forward by workers represented by Walter Duri following a complete halt in salary payments, with only partial amounts issued on two occasions. Conciliation attempts failed, leading the electronics workers' union to pursue arbitration. Kavuru stated the prolonged non-payment violated national labor law and the collective bargaining agreement.

The tribunal ordered NRTV to clear all outstanding wages within a mandated period, but the broadcaster has not complied. This non-payment has completely halted production, news, and current affairs programming at the station. The situation reflects wider economic challenges where workers remain on duty without compensation, severely impacting both livelihoods and broadcast service quality.
