We were born of e.tv and its commitment to provide free, reliable, independent news.” expressed Nisa.

“Good journalism and the desire to tell South Africa’s story is at the heart of e.tv news and we are really excited to bring seasoned journalist, Annika Larsen onboard. She is a trusted voice and a familiar face to the e.tv audience.” Allie concluded.

The lineup will also include existing Open News anchors, Naledi Maleo and Koketso Sachane.
