Radio Africa Limited on Friday, April 25, announced the firing of 27 employees, saying the move was necessitated by the current tough economic times.
Through an internal memo, the media house announced the development, terming it as 'one of the challenging moments in their journey'. "Yesterday, we made the incredibly difficult decision to let go of 27 of our colleagues.
This was one of the most challenging moments in our journey. "These individuals have been a great part of our team for many years, some for over 20 years," read the statement in part.
According to Martin Khafafa, the group CEO, the decision to release the employees was due to rising operational costs and posed a threat to the sustainability of the business.
