The latest highly embarrassing coverage of the Gupta-owned TV news channel ANN7 (DStv 405) is going viral as people are watching the jaw-droppingly bad live report the channel did about the late Ahmed Kathrada's worsening condition a few days ago.
The
inept ANN7 reporter who seems unsure of what and who exactly she's reporting
on, and struggles to speak, even refers to Kathrada as "Cartwright" during the
live report and also goes: "Guys, I can't" during the live crossing to ANN7's
Midrand studio.
While she's pulling faces, she reports that Ahmed Kathrada was "going
in and out of the coma".
ANN7
also named the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre on-screen the "Gordon Donald
Hospital" in its cringe-worthy Uncle Kathy coverage, getting the hospital's
name completely wrong.
The
ANN7 on-air blooper is the latest in an ongoing string of jaw-dropping mistakes
since the Infinity Media news channel launched on MultiChoice's DStv satellite
pay-TV platform in August 2013 with a litany of extremely embarrassing on-air
gaffes.
