AFBC’S STAFFER DAWIT JUMPS OUT OF THE SINKING SHIP
Dawit Wasihun has jumped out of the sinking ship to save his dear life.
Reliable sources told boxersworld.co.ke that the journalist-cum-lawyer is understood to have quit as Africa Boxing Confederation (AFBC) Communication and Media Director, citing unhealthy working environment, mismanagement not to mention that he has not been paid his salary for the last six months.
Going without his salary was the last straw, and on realising the ship is sinking Dawit – in his life jacket – threw caution to the wind and wisely dived into the deep sea braving the shark-infested waters as the dancing ship battles relentless violent waves and a heavy downpour.
Dawit joined AFBC in June, 2024, and has been managing AFBC’s website and all social media platforms.
Efforts to contact Dawit were unsuccessful but it’s understood all is not well at the financially-crippled AFBC headquarters in Addis Ababa.
My eagle-eyed source said other staffers have already jumped out of the sinking
ship to safety.
“How do you expect people to work on empty stomachs, they have families to feed,” said the source and that currently there is no activity in the office.
Contacted, AFBC acting secretary general, Yohanes Birhane, did not respond for obvious reasons but I’m reliably informed he also wanted to resign after the AFBC Congress in Dubai last December but decided to grudgingly continue working despite doing so without his monthly salary. He’s now strategically placed at the tailend of the sinking ship ready to dive out at the opportune moment.
