Zambian Presenter Demands For His Salary On live Broadcast

A Zambian news presenter lost his cool and went on a rant demanding his unpaid salary during a live news broadcast on Saturday night.

Kabinda Kalimina, who was the news anchor for Zambian KBN TV, first gave a roundup of the top stories, then he went off script and demanded his salary as well as the salaries of his coworkers who were yet to be paid.

“Away from the news, ladies and gentlemen, we are human beings. We have to get paid. Unfortunately, on KBN we haven’t been paid. People are getting instruments on KBN…Sharon and everyone else haven’t been paid, including myself (sic). We have to get paid,” Kalimina said in a video clip of the broadcast which has gone viral on social media.

Reacting to the live rant, KBN TV released a statement expressing its shock and condemnation of Kalimina’s actions which it tagged as “drunken behaviour”. The television station also claimed that Kalimina is a part-time presenter.
