Shahan Ramkissoon, one of the solidly dependable reporters who also moved in behind the anchor desk has left the eNCA (DStv 403) after 6 years.
There's been no word yet from the eNCA about Shahan Ramkissoon's departure from the news channel.
Shahan Ramkissoon has shown tremendous growth the past few years as the eNCA grew and has honed his image, style, news presentation skills, contacts and sources as he became one of the recognisable and solidly dependable news telenalities on South African TV screens.
Shahan Ramkissoon steadily progressed to behind the anchor desk where he also anchor timeslots on the eNCA.
Shahan Ramkissoon's last day at the South African 24-hour news channel was on Sunday, according to sources and he now works for the new African-centric Arise News news channel which launched in February. Arise News can be seen in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Arise News, which is on an aggressive recruitment drive - similar to the nascent Africa News Network 7 (ANN7) set to start later this year as a 24-hour news channel in South Africa - is not yet available on MultiChoice's DStv or On Digital Media's TopTV platforms.
Arise News can however be watched online as the channel is live-streamed at www.arise.tv where Shahan Ramkissoon can now be seen.
The reporter has already done live crossings on Arise News to London and New York from South Africa. According to sources the reporter might also be working for France24 (TopTV 402) on breaking news stories.
Shahan Ramkissoon's departure from the eNCA follows the departure of eNCA name-brand telenalities such as Debora Patta recently, as well as Lukwesa Burak who came to the eNCA from Sky News to anchor Africa Edition but is suddenly back on Sky News.
