WORKERS at Kitwe City council have not been paid their salaries for 3 months now, a source has disclosed to Tumfweko.
Kitwe City Council workers have endured for 3 consecutive months without pay, with no hope that they will ever get paid due to incapacity of the local authority to raise enough revenue.
A source discloses that a consultative meeting took place on Thursday between council management and workers union so as to entice union officials calm the impending demonstration by fellow workers.
The workers who declined to be named have described the situation as unhealthy, unmotivating and urged the local authority to urgently find a solution to the non-payment of workers.

When NEZ says that the government has failed at all levels of governance, some pf fool will say that am being tribal. The people employed at this council are all not tongas and will include various tribes. If anything the region is not a tonga one. So bane it is proof that all zambians are suffering under this useless government called pf. Wake up and vote for change
It’s now common thing it’s happened at following institutions;
1. UTH
2. ZNBC
3. KITWE CITY COUNCIL
4. CIVIC SERVANTS
5. ZAMTEL (Workers are not paid Standby Allowance, Overtime ,Acting allowance,Bonus,Per Deim [after two months],Holiday allowance, Salary increment of 5% per annum in respect to inflation).
6. Etc
The story above lacks substance. Ba tumfweko get your facts straight. how do you publish an unverified story? i work for KCC and the only month we have not been paid is February salaries of which shilepya next week monday.
Give them back the money they worked for. Lyenu in 2 seconds mwalaufya ati bapena. zambian government is so pathetic.
As a stakeholder in ZNBC, I demand equal coverage . Bwana Edgar promised to be my employee but his performance is questionable. He is behaving more like my boss. I can’t drive free on the roads because of uncultured black numbered Noah drivers who stop anywhere with no regard to traffic rules. Where is RTSA and Traffic officers? I wonder why we even got independence in the first place. After 50 years we are living without direction. I miss the late Mwanawasa (M.H.S.R.I.P). He never allowed carders to be at Airports, ZNBC, National Celebrations like women’s day, Youth day. The level of lawlessness is too much.
Fuel and mealie meal shortage clearly shows lack of leadership in the country.
I m tired. How can you neglect important decisions and concentrate on giving money to marketeers instead of living that to Microfinance sector to do that. People no your rights and call a spade a spade.
