Jane Dutton exits eNCA after 3 years.


by Thinus Ferreira

Jane Dutton is the next high-profile exit from eNCA (DStv 403) with the anchor who is gone from eMedia's TV news channel after 3 years.

Jane Dutton confirmed her exit from eNCA on Thursday, saying she's no longer there.

Jane Dutton who was the first news anchor of eNews together with San Reddy when e.tv started doing TV news bulletins in 1999, left in 2005 before the eNews Channel that eNCA was formerly known as, launched in June 2008.

Jane Dutton joined eNCA from Al Jazeera in July 2018, at first in a night time timeslot and later moving to the mornings, and thereafter jumping to morning and evening anchoring slots.

eNCA insiders told TVwithThinus at the beginning of September that Jane Dutton had resigned and left. eMedia was asked for confirmation of Jane Dutton's departure from eNCA in a media query on 1 September.

Viewers who spotted Jane Dutton's absence since mid-August have been asking for weeks where she is, along with Uveka Rangappa and Omar Essack.

"Jane Dutton are you okay? Nothing being communicated about your whereabouts on eNCA," viewer Piers Proctor remarked.

Jane Dutton's departure comes at the same time as Uveka Rangappa who exited eNCA (DStv 403) after 8 years and with Nisa Allie who also resigned and exited as part of eNCA's senior management team as the regional manager of eNCA in the Western Cape based in Cape Town.
