Alpha Media Holdings (AMH) Reportedly Dismisses 6More Journalists : ‘Supreme Court Ruling’
Alpha Media Holdings yesterday reportedly fired six more journalists in a bid to cut down on operational costs.
This is the second time the publishers of NewsDay, The Zimbabwe Independent and The Standard newspaper, have fired workers in the wake of the July 17 Supreme Court ruling.
The landmark ruling allows employers to terminate contracts of employment with a three-month notice at any time without giving severance packages.
Last month, AMH fired an undisclosed number of journalists and other supporting staff taking advantage of the landmark ruling.
According to reports last night, editor of The Standard Walter Marwizi, NewsDay assistant editor Conway Tutani, Ropafadzo Mapimhidze and Elizabeth Dambureni, online reporter Cecilia Kamuputa and sports reporter Mike Madyira were shown the exit door.
AMH chief executive Vincent Kahiya last night could neither confirm nor deny the latest development.
