ALPHA Media Holdings (AMH) has shortlisted 10 more journalists for retrenchment as the media organisation continues to struggle to pay workers.
Sources within the Trevor Ncube owned company who also  owns South African based weekly the  Mail and Guardian in South Africa said the affected journalists who are yet to be notified will not return in 2016.
The company which recently retrenched 70 workers who it is yet to give their retrenchment packages is also failing to pay its remaining few employees.
“We last got paid in September and it is now December,” said one of the workers.
“There is no communication as to when we are going to get paid and there is a high possibility of us going to Christmas with nothing”.
Last week ALPHA Media Holdings (AMH) which publishes the NewsDay, and two weeklies, The Zimbabwe Independent and The Standard was last week dragged to the labour court by the retrenched workers where it said it was facing financial constraints to pay workers.
The company’s managing director Vincent Kahiya told the court that the company was struggling since January 2014.
