Derek van Dam, the chief meteorologist of the eNews Channel and eNews will be back on TV on Thursday 2 August.
Last week I've been the only journalist covering television to report that Derek van Dam has had successful surgery in hospital on his left hand, following a second physical injury this year - this time playing soccer during which he seriously injured his finger a few weeks ago.
Derek van Dam is currently on medical leave following last week's operation, if all goes well he should be back at work in Cape Town in about a week and a half's time.
