You're reading it here first.
A brand-new local show, Against All Odds, will be starting this Friday 13 April at 20:45 on the eNews Channel (DStv 403).
I can reveal that Against All Odds will start this Friday 13 April and will be presented by Mpho Lakaje. Against All Odds will cut into the end of the usual NewsNight as far as I can figure it out putting different bits together from different sources.
Against All Odds on the eNews Channel will focus on various stories from inspiring South Africans. The show will have several repeats like Saturdays at 10:45, Sundays at 14:45 and Mondays at 13:45 cutting into News Day.
UPDATE - 15:37: A reader that's quick to weight in, tells me SABC2 interestingly had a youth show with the exact same name and premise a couple of years ago. "Quite weird that they would choose that name without doing a simple google!'' says the reader.
UPDATE - 16:15: e.tv has issued a press release. "A new inspirational and inspirational current affairs show premiers on the eNews Channel on the eNews Channel on Friday 13 April. The show profiles ordinary people who rise against devastating odds to achieve extraordinary success. It unearths individuals who challenge conventional thinking to reach what seem like impossible goals. The programme celebrates the South Africa we don't usually hear about."
