Speaking to Zimoja, former Massiv Metro employees said the station managers are ignoring their demands, but they still want the money. The source said:

"They still owe me my salary for two months. The salary was not really a salary but money for transport for us to get around. We were volunteers technically.

"So, for the last two months, I used my own money to get to work, hoping they would pay me but they haven’t. It’s been almost 3-months since we left, and they still have not paid us.

"I’m lucky I come from an average home and just got a new job at another radio station."
