Madinga leaves K8.4mil salary job at First Merchant Bank
Renowned banker Phillip Madinga has left listed First Merchant Bank (FMB )just a year and half after joining as Group General Manager, Corporate and Commercial banking.
An in-house circular no. FMB/HR/NK/13/17 dated 7th June 2017 and signed by Group Managing Director Dheeraj Dikshit notifies Group general Managers, Heads of Departments and line mangers of Madinga’s exit.
“It is with sadness and gratitude that the Board of Directors and Executive Management announce Phillip Madinga’s departure as Group General Manager, Corporate and Commercial Banking, effective 7th June 2017.”
“Phillip joined FMB Group at the beginning of 2016 and worked dedicatedly giving his best in his field of work. We want to thank him for his dedicated service which involved many significant accomplishments,” reads the circular in part.
Madinga confirmed in a brief interview with Nyasa Times of his departure but could not be drawn to comment further.
Madinga is leaving just months after a leaked document which revealed salaries of employees at FMB which revealed that some bank employees were receiving as little as K40,000 a month and Madinga himself was one of the highest paid at K8.7 million per month.
FMB has just announced that it has acquired controlling stake in Barclays Bank Zimbabwe to extend its footprint in the region on top of Zambia, Botswana and Mozambique.

Its not all about money guys but job satisfaction, peace of mind.
MK8.7M is roughly R174,000 here in SA and some get that in some fields like accounting, computer science, etc depending on which company they are working for and years of experience, etc. Mzotheka ndithu.
Why do you want to show that you’re knowledgeable by trying to bring in US $ Does Malawi use Dollars? The answer is a big NO. Every country does things depending on the size of its economy. In a Malawian standard you can’t say that K8.7 million is peanuts. How many people with Masters Degrees or PhDs are getting close to that amount of money????????? Is it justifiable? The answer is yes cos he didn’t steal the money but the company agreed to pay him that much BUT that’s the problem with Amwene. They’re not good people at all, they… Read more »
Akulu Keen Observer mwakwiya kwambiri. But remember everyone gets what they deserve. This guy was an employee like everyone else..his education and experience justifies his salary. Just wait someone will pick him up at an even higher salary. Those of us who know know that he was getting peanuts at K8.7 kaya ndi K8.4 million. Because inuyo you can’t even earn half meter doesn’t mean everyone else can’t so chill!
Should you believe you have good papers you can apply for that job. Everyone wants a good perk that’s life. Stop comparing top managers with kapunjunju’s…

This is only US$11,974 per month a lot of ordinary people are getting more than this minus benefits even in NGOs and international organizations. And Remember this is before taxi. I know of people who were getting MK3.5 Million in the tobacco companies more than 7 years ago. How much are those folks getting now? I guess the only main argument could the gap between the highest and lowest paid. But to say the truth US$11,000 for a senior executive is not an alarming amount.
You are too much Phillip. What is it that you want???????
