The owners of the new 24-hour news channel, Newzroom Afrika, said that they will give priority to retrenched employees of the doomed Afro Worldview.

Newzroom Afrika, South Africa's new 24-hour news channel, was launched on Thursday, just in time for Wednesday's elections.

Newzroom Afrika’s Mpumalanga-based journalist Mweli Masilela (35) is suing national Police Minister Bheki Cele for R9 million after he was shot in the cheek while covering a taxi owners’ march.

To mark the channel's 5th birthday Newzroom Afrika has also roped in seasoned anchor Iman Rappetti.

Newzroom Afrika rings in the new year with changes, as the channel marks five years since its launch and continues to shake up the news scene with youthful energy and continuous innovation.

MultiChoice has announced that it will add Newzroom Afrika to its portfolio of news channels on 2 May 2019.

Newzroom Afrika suspended popular anchor Aldrin Sampear pending an internal investigation into a road rage incident that went viral on social media.

Newzroom Afrika is ringing in the 2020s with a programming reboot to keep things fresh and focused for what promises to be a momentous new decade.

No firm launch date for the new channel has been announced, and Newzroom Afrika co-owner Thokozani Nkosi said they are currently finalising the launch plan.
