BBC World News
After an experiment lasting just over a year, Lerato Mbele who joined the Newsday radio show of BBC World Service in June 2012 is returning to television from 5 October as the presenter of a new show on BBC World News (DStv 400 / TopTV 400), Africa Business Report.
Africa Business Report will be a new weekly business TV programme on BBC World News, similar to CNN Marketplace Africa which Robyn Curnow is doing weekly on CNN International (DStv 401).
Lerato Mbele abruptly left CNBC Africa (DStv 410) in February last year after a massive falling out with the African business news channel and then joined the BBC.
Now she will be back on television with Africa Business Report which will be produced from the BBC production centre in Johannesburg and which the BBC says will utilise the expertise of BBC correspondents in 48 African countries.
Africa Business Report will focus on Africa's latest business and technology news through stories and high profile interviews.
