Zambian TV presenter goes off script, demands for his salary during a live news report

A video making rounds online has shown the moment a Zambian TV news presenter went off script and demanded his salary and that of his colleagues during a live news report.

According to social media users, the incident occurred last weekend. Shortly after giving a roundup of the top stories during a live broadcast, Kabinda Kalimina who works with KBN TV said.

"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. We have to get paid," he said.

However, he was cut off almost immediately.

Reacting to this, management of the TV station alleged that Kalimina’s antics has brought the station into disrepute.

They also accused him of exhibiting a “drunken behaviour"
