Television presenting is not just about the fame, it’s a career that demands more than looks on fleek and adoring social media fans.
A presenter with all the social media finesse was Palesa who said: “I'm going to bring some spunk to afternoon TV. I’m excited to bring a younger energy to the show and add to the already positive atmosphere the show (Afternoon Express) delivers on a daily basis.”

Lastly, brand analyst Thabiso joins South Africa’s feel-good breakfast show, Expresso.
“I love Expresso and I can’t wait to bring my refreshing, upbeat energy to the show. The show is extremely important because people are waking up and the tone of the show sets the audience’s mood for the entire day.

A twist to the season was an additional position given to Mosa Kaiser, who didn’t get a permanent slot on SABC 3’s flagship shows but the judges felt that her talent shouldn’t go to waste. Kaiser was announced as the Joburg field reporter for the various shows.
