Cape Town - The SABC's SABC TV News anchor Vabakshnee Chetty-Miller is pregnant and expecting her first child, a girl, with husband Geoffrey Miller.
Monday night was the last time SABC viewers saw Vabakshnee Chetty-Miller who left for maternity leave.
Co-anchor Peter Ndoro said viewers have been wondering for months why it seemed as if Vabakshnee was putting on weight behind the anchor desk.
"I will miss being here, but I'm off for a new adventure," she said.
"It's a little girl!" said Ndoro, as she took out a pair of small pink shoes at the end of Monday evening's bulletin, after which he reached over and hugged her on-screen.
The professional and beloved news reader on SABC3 and SABC News (DStv 404) got married in November 2014 in Stellenbosch.
