ANN7 weather girl Surita Smit embarrassingly calls Johannesburg 'The Mother City' in her weather report.
The ANN7 weather girl Surita Smit cheerily - yet mistakenly - calls Johannesburg "The Mother City" in yet another embarrassing ANN7 on-air fail - "Mother City" is in fact the moniker used for Cape Town.
ANN7 from Infinity Media, South Africa's third 24-hour TV news channel, which MultiChoice launched on its DStv platform on Wednesday, has instantly become the laughing stock of South African television for the ongoing, numerous and highly embarrassing mistakes from the unprofessional and amateur TV news outfit.
The ongoing on-air mistakes has scarred ANN7's non-existent credibility with viewers who can't really trust anything due to the accuracy problems, spelling mistakes and litany of technical snafus which have engulfed the TV news channel known as "GuptaTV" and "Gupta News".
The politically connected Gupta family are investors in Infinity Media, together Duduzane Zuma, president Jacob Zuma's son, are investors in Infinity Media.
