BREAKING. Chantal Rutter Dros back as primetime anchor on ANN7; 'I'm glad to be back with you,' she says after a two week break.

Chantal Rutter Dros is back in the anchor chair from this evening on ANN7 (DStv 405) after two weeks off during which Peter Stemmet kept the chair warm in her absence.

There was no official announcement or programming note from ANN7 to the press that Chantal Rutter Dros was disappearing from South African TV screens, nor about her return two weeks later - but from Monday 10 February the star anchor is back anchoring the weekday ANN7 Headlines from 19:00 to 20:00, and ANN7 Prime from 20:00 to 21:00.

"A very warm welcome to ANN7. I'm glad to be back with you," said Chantal Rutter Dros in her opener on Monday night.
