Lukwesa Burak, a well-known face on Sky News (DStv 402) has finally moved to Johannesburg with her daughters and the eNCA (DStv 403) as the 24-hour news channel earlier this year said she would.
Lukwesa Burak is now helping to anchor the daily Africa Edition on the eNCA which is also seen in the United Kingdom on the Sky pay-TV platform. Earlier this year Patrick Controy, the head of eNCA, said that Lukwesa Burak would be joining the channel as part of the name change and brand overhaul when the eNews Channel changed to eNCA.
"We welcome Lukwesa Burak to the Africa Edition team," says Chris Maroleng, eNCA's Africa editor. "Lukwesa has an impeccable reputation in the journalism industry and she is a great addition to our team. We are delighted to have her join us as we deliver news for Africans, by Africans."
"I'm very much looking forward to joining the team at eNCA," says Lukwesa Burak in a statement the eNCA issued after viewers had already seen her anchor Africa Edition. "It's a very exciting tme for me as I'm moving back to Africa and presenting a show that endeavours to report the facts and what really matters to Africans."
