An average Air Zimbabwe worker would take 3000 years to earn what the over qualified Chief Operating Officer Simba Chikore is paid in a month.
According to an insider who spoke on condition of an anonymity , the First son-in law who beat 136 other applicants for this job amid unsubstantiated reports that he included his marriage certificate among documents to support his qualifications will earn a cool gross salary of US$1.6 million per month making him the highest paid executive in Zimbabwe, even higher than the President’s pay packet which stands at a modest US$4000 per month.
Confidential documents signed by Transport minister, Joram Gumbo, last week in order to operationalise Chikore’s appointment shows Simba would be taking home at least US$974 000 every month, plus a lot of benefits totaling over US$500 000.
