Chante Jantjies leaves ANN7

Embedded image permalink
Earlier this month, the once youngest news anchor on all of South African television, Chante Jantjies, left ANN7 (DStv 405).

Chante, who has been with ANN7 since inception, is a former Miss Teen Universe (and Miss Teen SA) and now has her sights set on the main pageant title, Miss SA.

Whilst at ANN7, the former (but again current) beauty queen has filled various roles [and it has been an absolute pleasure to watch her grow as a news anchor/reporter]. Her first structured anchoring slot was the weekday 9am-11am slot. At the start o 2015 she was moved to weekend breakfast as to better accomodate her studies, before more recently taking up the role of the lunch time anchor. In addition, late last year she added Newsroom Live to her schedule, a news bulletin that e.tv tried to duplicate with eNews Direct.

On Express Lunch and Newsroom Live, Abigail Visagie takes over anchoring duties, which leaves Peter van Onselen as solo anchor of Vuka Africa once again. Abigail is now also the last of the anchors ANN7 hired and trained at inception that still has a weekday slot and is sill with the channel.
