Sads! The hottest weatherman, Derek van Dam, is leaving SA

He was practically the only reason we used to pay attention to the weather and now eNCA weatherman, Derek van Dam is leaving SA.

Derek, who has been part of the eNCA gang since 2008 is returning to America and will be joining CNN International.

He just proposed to his girlfriend, Tara, over the weekend and says he'll be visiting SA often.

“Living and working in South Africa has been a tremendous honour for me. I will be forever grateful to my colleagues at eNCA for the experiences and knowledge that we shared together as well as the tremendous support from the countless South Africans who welcomed me into their homes every night on TV.”

Boo.
