Jody Jacobs has left eMedia Investment's TV news channel eNCA (DStv 403) as broadcast manager.
On social media he said "and so the journey comes to an end", noting "there were good times and trying times but overall it's been a great journey. Goodbye to all the great people I had the pleasure of working with".
The former e.tv News Prime Time reporter who joined e.tv in 2007 and left in October 2012 after 5 years, returned to eMedia and joined eNCA in January 2015 as a reporter and producer.
After that Jody Jacobs was appointed as eNCA's head of output in May 2018 during a turbulent time for the TV news channel.
Then, after 10 months he was repositioned and appointed as eNCA's broadcast manager in March 2019, managing day-to-day eNCA newsroom operations which he has done for just over 4 years until his exit this month.
In total Jody Jacobs was at eNCA for 7 and a half years.
eMedia didn't immediately respond to a media query about Jody Jacobs' exit which wasn't announced, and who will be replacing him in the broadcast manager position, but comment will be added here if or when received.
