Idols' Liezel van der Westhuizen, All Access' Ewan Strydom and 50/50's Katlego Maboyi promote SABC3's new Expresso morning show.


Just one day after her abrupt sudden last appearance on M-Net's Idols on Sunday night, Liezel van der Westhuizen is simply burning up promo time with a brand-new, heavily flighted on-air promo that started today on SABC3. In the promo for SABC3's new morning show ExpressoLiezel van der WesthuizenEwan Strydom from M-Net's All Access and Katlego Maboyi from SABC2's 50/50 are telling viewers about the exciting new morning breakfast show Expresso starting Monday, October 4 on SABC3 between 05:30 and 07:30.

Liezel van der Westhuizen, Ewan Strydom and Katlego Maboyi who've decided to leave M-Net and SABC2 to join the new Tswelopele Production made for SABC3, all speak seamless Afrikaans and English. It could be an indication of another first-ever coming to South African television: fully bilingual TV presenters who are absolutely comfortable in Afrikaans and English and who will also be allowed - and were actually sought out - to speak both.

''What is the first thing you do in the morning? Do you hit the snooze button?'' enthuses Liezel van der Westhuizen, before 50/50's Katlego Maboyi seamlessly continues: ''Soon it will be your remote button you press for your morning caffeine fix.'' All Access' Ewan Strydom continues (in Afrikaans) and touts what viewers will see on Expresso: ''SABC3's new morning show gives you celebs, décor, food, health and entertainment.''

Expresso will include inserts and information on sport, staying fit and following a healthy diet. Viewers who look closely, will even see Ewan Strydom lift Katlego Maboyi up in the air, doing a mock ''human dumb-bell press''. Ewan Strydom will be Expresso's new fitness expert.
