Suzaan Steyn has been upped as one of the new kykNET Verslag anchors on kykNET (DStv 144) from 2022 and will start on Monday 24 January.
Suzaan Steyn replaces Lourensa Eckard who is the new anchor of Wednesday's current affairs talk show edition, In Gesprek met Lourensa. Lourensa Eckard replaces Waldimar Pelser who is becoming the new kykNET channel boss from February.
With the musical chairs anchor changes, kykNET and the production company IdeaCandy is also slightly changing the presentation frequency of the anchors of kykNET Verslag in 2022.
Where Heinrich Weingaard and Lourensa Eckard would alternate as kykNET Verslag anchors on different nights of the same week, Heinrich Weingaard and Suzaan Steyn will now take turns to anchor a week's episodes on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights on kykNET.
kykNET Verslag returned this week with Heinrich Weingaard as anchor, with Suzaan Steyn who will debut next week for that week's episodes.
Suzaan Steyn was chosen as the anchor of the weekly kykNET Verslag Pandemie episode during the height of South Africa's Covid-19 pandemic when KN Pandemie was introduced as a limited series show.
After the conclusion of that show, Suzaan Steyn was moved to Mondays at 17:30 to anchor the weekly medical current affairs show, Spreekkamer on kykNET.
Now she will take weekly turns as the anchor of kykNET's live current affairs late-night strand at 21:30 that is done from Stark Studios in Johannesburg.
