PUBLICITÉ. eNCA and e.tv stars come out for a stylish 5 star press dinner at The Shimmy Club in Cape Town on Friday night.

The casts of e.tv's soaps Rhythm City and Scandal! who jetted into Cape Town for a three day marketing meet-and-greet with fans, sat down with the press for a 5 star dinner on Friday night at the new The Shimmy Beach Club.

Several TV newsers from e.tv's 24-hour news channel, eNCA (DStv 403) were in attendance as well.

I spotted and talked to the always-delightful eNCA tele-nalities like weather guy Derek van Dam (just back from a holiday to India), and reporters Tanya Nedft and Leigh-Ann Jansen.

Pam Andrews didn't bite anyone and community newspaper journalists listened inquisitively to Clint Brink talking about his character's bad boy image while much better than usual red wine for this type of shindig flowed.

The elegant e.tv dinner lasted until midnight when the e.tv faces all went outside to the beach and took a big group photo with the press.

BREAKING. eNCA satellite van and eNCA reporter Leigh-Ann pummeled with rocks and a brick by Swellendam protesters.

A satellite van of the 24-hour South African news channel eNCA (DStv 403) and reporter Leigh-Ann Jansen has been pummeled with stones, rocks and a brick by angry protesters in Swellendam this evening from where Leigh-Ann Jansen is covering the violence which erupted over service delivery in the town.

The eNCA satellite truck is damaged. "Our satellite truck has been hit by a brick, so that is damaged," said Leigh-Ann Jansen.

Leigh-Ann Jansen, whilst reporting, had to suddenly hide behind the eNCA satellite van when protesters started throwing rocks at the eNCA.

"So many things raced through my mind," said Leigh-Ann Jansen. "I needed to make sure that everything in the satellite truck was protected. I had to safeguard myself, and my camera operator Tommy Davids."

"Because it's so dark you can't see where the bricks are coming from."
