BNSC chief rejects P600, 000 Mercedes Benz gift

Instead he prefers to drive a five-year-old car that was used by his predecessor, Kitso Kemoen.Raditladi, the founder of Yarona FM  station and also former G4s MD Botswana and Nigeria, tells the Mmegi sport rejecting the luxurious Mercedes Benz E200 package was one of the hardest decisions he had to make when he realised he was stepping into a BNSC with no funds.  " The BNSC simply did not have money, they could not afford to pay for such a luxury," he says.

According to Raditladi, from the first day, when he reported for duty on September 24, he immediately learnt he was dealing with a bankrupt organisation.  The BNSC expenses, according to him, had spiralled out of control over time, resulting in late payment of staff salaries. " When I reported on day one, it was on the 24th, staff salaries had not been paid; they told me late payment of salaries had become routine; I had to work hard to ensure that their salaries were paid the next day, even though I was not going to get a salary myself".
