Newzroom Afrika, one of South Africa’s leading news channels, has announced a significant reshuffle in its programming.
The broadcaster aims to keep pace with evolving viewer preferences and sharpen its focus on quality journalism.
VUYO MVOKO AND NEWZROOM AFRIKA
At the heart of this shake-up is the appointment of political veteran Vuyo Mvoko as Political Economy Editor, according to Biz Community
Mvoko brings an impressive wealth of experience and insight into South African politics.
He is known for his incisive interview style and deep understanding of economic issues, and he will lead the channel’s political economy coverage with renewed vigour.
Starting immediately, Mvoko will anchor Newsfeed PM from 15:00 to 17:00, Monday to Thursday.

Zulaikha Patel will contribute a new segment, further diversifying the morning content. Michelle Craig will present Newsfeed AM from 09:00 to 12:00.
Stephen Grootes and Katlego Msomi will co-anchor Daytime Update from noon to 15:00 on alternating days.

Our viewers remain at the centre of everything we do. We are excited about our growth plans this coming year.”
