Movable property belonging to Nkululeko Rusununguko TV (NRTV) is set to be auctioned this week after the military-linked broadcaster failed to settle a salary debt exceeding US$278,000 owed to 70 former employees.
The High Court granted a seizure order after NRTV ignored a Labour Court ruling by arbitrator Patience Kavuru, which directed the company to pay US$278,479.88 in outstanding wages. KM Auctions (Pvt) Ltd has listed vehicles with a combined value of US$76,000, alongside office equipment such as refrigerators, printers and television sets.
NRTV, whose parent company Nkululeko Rusununguko Holdings has significant Zimbabwe National Army interests, has faced accusations of squandering millions on inflated television content. Many workers have since left the broadcaster but continue to pursue their unpaid dues.
