ANN7: Hola Weekend on ANN7 has such bad presenters and on-air presenting they wouldn't even cut it to do Sunday school class.


"Lots of drama to be expected!" says an overly-animated Arthur Mafokate on the cringe inducing Horrible Hola Weekend on ANN7 (DStv 405) - the train wreck of a South African TV news channel from Infinity Media on MultiChoice's DStv where the hot mess of amateur presenting continues on unabated.

Watch this film school students and then ask you lecturer what you need to do, to not go out into the professional world one day and be this ... terrible.

If this is what Hola Weekend is after dry-runs and weeks of practice and preparation in advance before this sadly, shoddy ANN7 news channel started on DStv, just imagine how it looked before.

Even campus radio DJs on the late night shift (and I talk from experience - I was a campus radio station manager and station director for a number of years at university) are better than this and have more co-presenting chemistry than this dished up TV trash.

Sad to say, but Hola Weekend on ANN7 wouldn't even make it as a kids show - although it seems to be more geared towards infantile children than covering sport.
