After 7 months off air, TV news anchor Flo Letoaba returns to the SABC, now anchoring on SABC News.


The TV news reader Flo Letoaba made her return to television and the South African public broadcaster on Saturday afternoon when she reappeared on screens, this time anchoring on SABC News (DStv 404).

Flo Letoaba previously worked as at the SABC, as a news reader for e.tv's eNews and as a news anchor for the eNCA (DStv 403) TV news channel.

She then jumped to Mzwanele Manyi's Afro Worldview (DStv 405) TV news channel that rebranded in April 2018 after he acquired the notorious ANN7 channel from the controversial Gupta family involved in state capture claims.

Flo Letoaba remained at Afro Worldview until it was shut down and removed from MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV platform in August 2018.

After an absence of 7 months, Flo Letoaba is now back on TV screens anchoring the news.

There's been no announcement or press release from the SABC about Flo Letoaba's return and it's not clear whether her addition to SABC News's anchor roster over weekends is a permanent or a temporary arrangement.

Flo Letoaba previously worked at the SABC's first try at a 24-hour TV news channel, SABC News International where she was the presenter of the current affairs show, In-depth News. The costly SABC News International was shut down after just three years in operation at the end of March 2010.

During her time at the SABC Flo Letoaba substituted on SABC2's Morning Live as well as a substitute anchor of the SABC's main English TV news bulletin on SABC3, News @ 7.
