This as she plans to emigrate with her husband, who got a job opportunity, to Chicago. At this time, she ha nothing lined up for herself on the other side of the pond, instead focussing on adjusting to the new setting and taking care of her young baby.
Vabakshnee has been anchoring Prime Time News, technically since its inception in 2013 when the SABC News Channel launched. She had conanchored the bulletin in its prior form as a one hour news bulletin on SABC3. Chetty leaving also marks the first time since March last year that a South African news channel's prime time lineup changes.
Chetty has been with the SABC since the start of her career fifteen years ago, filling various roles through the years. In addition to anchoring on SABC TV, she is also an anchor on the SABC's SAFM radio station.
Since announcing her departure, she has been retweeting farewell messages from colleagues and friends. SABC reporter, Thabiso Sithole tweeted, "Ja neh, not cool. So @vabakshnee, which one are you making your cameo on first? Chicago PD, Chicago Fire or Chicago MED. You Love TV moss.."
It is unclear who will fill her seat on Prime Time News going forward, but it is expected that Francis Herd will sit alongside her coanchor, Peter Ndoro in the interim. Herd filled her seat last year when Chettywas on maternity leave.
