ANN7 starte early Sunday morning, 4 May, with providing on location rolling coverage of the ANC's Siyanqoba rally, the one traditionally held before a major election where over 200 000 ANC supporters are expected to attend this year.
Hajra Omarjee is anchoring from the National Stadium from the media suite usually used by Supersport during major soccer events from the stadium from where she is doing interviews with members from the ranks of the party. The usual anchors are still in studio, but are mainly used to give things like traffic updates to those attending.
This is not Omarjee's first major ANC event this week as she anchored their May Day rally on Thursday, interestingly the only news channel to do so.
It is going to be a long day for Omarjee from anchoring the coverage in the morning to doing her actaul show, the well done Political Edge at 8pm.
The other news channels are also expected to carry this rally live when it starts. It will also be shown on SABC2 live from 11:00. If you would remember, the last time the ANC ran a major rally before an election, it was broadcast across all three the SABC's free to air channels, this time only on one.
eNCA has aired this week's Maggs on Media from 8:30am as the rally will be broadcast in its traditional slot. The channel has reporter Thula Sims at the ANC rally while Bongiwe Khumalo is at the EFF's one
