Muchechetere $40 000 ‘obscene’ package revealed

ZIMBABWE Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) CEO Happison Muchechetere, currently on forced leave, was pampering himself with a hefty package amounting to over $40 000 a month, including a monthly salary of $27 000, as workers wallowed in poverty.

Employees at the State broadcaster have gone for five months without salaries.

Government yesterday revealed that apart from his huge salary, Muchechetere enjoyed other perks which included home entertainment of $3 000, housing allowance, $3 000, $2 500 for his security, unlimited business, entertainment allowance, unlimited fuel allowance and wages for his maid, among other benefits.
