This follows Sebenzile Nkambule's silent exit from the channel at the start of the festive season. Since then, lunchtime anchor Chante Jantjies did primetime coverage over the festive season with Peter taking over in what is his now permanent slot from the 28th of December 2015.
Sebenzile had taken over the bulletin just a few months prior when Nzinga Qunta vacated that position, citing that she could not cope as a full time student and prime time news anchor simultaneously. Sebe then maintained two jobs: ANN7 prime anchor and 4am anchor on PowerFM, a position she still holds. But going by social media, Sebe almost never made it known that she was an ANN7 anchor, never promoting interviews or coverage on social networks like Twitter.
Before anchoring ANN7 Prime, van Onselen had been anchoring Vuka Africa since September 2013 and prior to that was a bulletin editor at what is now eNCA.
This now leaves Abigail Visagie as the solo anchor of ANN7's breakfast show, Vuka Africa, which airs weekdays between 6am and 8am.
The format of ANN7 Prime remains largely unchanged, with news headlines, debate and interviews, the only bulletin to do so on a daily basis.
