Lindy Mtongana Moves From eNCA to CCTV Africa

With the recent closure of eNCA's African news division, many staff were let go as part of the budget cutting measures or left the channel on their own for greener pastures, like Robyn Kriel.

Lindy Mtongana is another person that left eNCA for opportunities elsewhere.

Lindy has been with eNCA long before the now failed African expansion. She was initially a late night, weekend and fill in anchor for the channel before thinking that joining the African division would do wonders for her (hint: it did not). At eNCA's Africa division, Lindy anchored Africa Edition which aired Monday to Friday at 7pm GMT on the eNCA feed seen outside South Africa as well as on eTV's eTV Africa service which is available on DStv outside of South Africa and also Openview HD's eAfrica+, in additionto being aired on eNCA after midnight here in South Africa.

In addition  to this, she took up the position of senior producer at eNCA's now cancelled Africa 360, where she often filled in as anchor.

Then the African news division closed, people were laid off and Lindy had the opportunity to do what she did in the beginning before moving to the Africa division, anchor late nights and weekends.  However, Lindy was seen less frequently than before because Florence Letoaba has now become the first choice for anchoring the late night shift.

In May this year, Lindy left eNCA and headed to CCTV Africa's Kenya bureau, because Chinese broadcasters are unfortunately more capable of giving African people an opportunity to tell African stories than actual African broadcasters.
