The news channels barely had time to rest before needing to cover yet anothr political event, the ANC presser.
SABC News took this one live (unsurprisingly), though their coverage was quite bare, only having one anchor in studio and leaving the conference first at 12:30 to show taped show Question Time. At lunch time, they provided very little extra coverage.
eNCA took the conference from the start as well with a political analyst in studio. They, however, left the conference at about 12:53 to get a bit of perspective from their analyst (they do not pay him for nothing, I suppose) and thn went to yet another weather bulletin (you can never get enough weather).
Hajra Omarjee, who has seemed quite foolish in her coverage for the day thus far declared that they (ANN7) will take the conference live when they feel like there is something meaty being said (nothing like deciding for your audience I suppose). After this, the news anchor read about 2 other stories before they too decided to opt in to the conference.
