eNCA (DStv 403) is adding eNCA Business as a new weekly business show from 11 March at 21:00 with the programme that will be anchored by Rofhiwa Madzena.

eNCA Business is produced by the TV news channel's business news team where Devan Murugan has been appointed as business editor in October 2000 although eNCA at the time made no announcement about his promotion.

Rofhiwa Madzena worked in radio as a reporter and then as an on-air producer for news and current affairs at CNBC Africa (DStv 410) after which she joined eNCA as a business anchor and producer in 2018.

Melitta Ngalonkulu was a financial journalist and also hosted a business-related podcast show prior to joining eNCA in November 2020 as a business anchor and producer. 

The eNCA reporters Heidi Giokos and Mawande Kheswa will also contribute to eNCA Business.

eNCA says that eNCA Business "will reflect the various business issues that made news in the week and look ahead at what is unfolding in the business world".

Devan Murugan says "The role of business in the nation’s overall recovery is now underscored like never before. The scope and opportunity to share the South African and African business context is limitless".

"eNCA Business will uncover the impact that big business has on consumers and the economy, as well as share insights and learnings from business players across the fraternity."
