Francis Herd the new prime time business news anchor on SABC News after she jumped ship from eNCA.


Francis Herd has suddenly popped up on rival 24-hour TV news channel SABC News (DStv 404) as the public broadcaster's new business news anchor.

Francis Herd is back on South African television after she jumped ship and left the 24-hour TV news channel eNCA (DStv 403) at the end of August to become the rival 24-hour TV news channel SABC News's (DStv 404) new business news anchor.

Neither the SABC nor SABC News could be bothered with any announcement or press statement about Francis Herd's addition to the news channel or her new anchoring duties.

The former long time eNCA prime time business news anchor during NewsNight on eNCA can now be seen as the business news anchor on Prime Time News on SABC News during the same timeslot since October.

Francis Herd is also anchoring Business Review on weekdays at 20:00 on SABC News, a half hour business news programme which gives a daily look at business and commerce in Africa with interviews with business and industry leaders and covering stories about South Africa and the African continent's economy.
