BREAKING. Sindy Mabe gone from Sunrise as the next presenter on e.tv's morning breakfast show who suddenly exits the show.

Sindy Mabe is gone from e.tv's breakfast show Sunrise - the next presenter suddenly leaving the seemingly troubled weekday morning show on e.tv.

It's not clear whether Sindy Mabe quit or was fired from e.tv's Sunrise.

Penny Lebyane, previously the presenter of SABC2's Motswako, is suddenly starting as new Sunrise anchor from Monday14 July, e.tv tells TV with Thinus.

It's the second time Sindy Mabe has left e.tv's morning show. She co-anchored e.tv's Sunrise predecessor Morning Edition from 2003 to 2005 before quitting and jumping to SABC2's Weekend Live.

Sindy Mabe returned to Sunrise in April 2008.

e.tv's publicity department failed to communicate presenter changes and has been silent about Sindy Mabe's abrupt departure from Sunrise.

There's been no word and no announcement from e.tv about Sindy Mabe's sudden exit who has become the next person in a constant string of defections from Sunrise.

No replacement has been announced and there's been no goodbye announcement from Sindy Mabe.

Sunrise news reader Marc Chase and Walter Mokoena are anchoring in the meantime.
