A worker of a media organ in Douala known as CMR7, Cameroon, has threatened to commit suicide at the premises of the said media house.

According to reports, the man whom reports say is fondly referred to as Madiba, at the height of desperation, poisoned himself and later fell into a trance.

“During a chat with his superior, he took out something from his pocket and swallowed. The next few minutes, he began to vomit for a long time. He was ferried to a military hospital in Douala. When he regained consciousness, he confessed that he wanted to commit suicide because of the hard times he went through.

According to sources, the staff of the media organ CMR7, have gone for close to 7 months without any salary.

Reports said that in December 2017, the said media organ was created in Douala with the aim to broadcast across all over Cameroon and the African continent at large.

Five months later, there was big failure as signals of the new television station were no longer received in homes in Douala and this consequently led to a halt in the payment of salaries of staff.

The economic hardship even led to a cut in the number of staff of the television station. The height of the crisis was reached when electricity supply was cut to the television station by the Energy of Cameroon, ENEO, because of non-settlement of bills.
