UPDATE 17 May 15:00 - The SABC now tells me both Lynette Francis and Suna Venter are freelance news anchors. All of the SABC's news anchors are working on a freelance basis and SABC News makes use of their services if and when they are available.
Lynette Francis has a standard contract to do the Nuus om 7 for SABC2 until the end of March 2014.
As I've reported the SABC says "we have just signed Suna Venter, a popular RSG current affairs journalist and producer. She'll be debuting tonight, with another presentation on Sunday evening. Suna Venter will mainly be standing in for Terrance April, who's on long leave."
