Anele and Ayanda Thabethe are said to be the new co-hosts of SuperSport's Super Saturday, which will be returning to the DSTV channel after being cancelled in 2008.

ANELE AND AYANDA THABETHE JOIN SUPERSPORT The Celebrity Game Night host, who has just inked a 5-year deal with 947, will be joining seasoned sportscaster Neil Andrews who hosted the show with Phumlani Msibi and Terry Paine during its old format between 1999 and 2008.

Also joining Anele and Neil is rugby broadcaster Motshidisi Mohono, football presenter Thato Moeng, and Celebrity Game Night team leader Ayanda Thabethe.

According to entertainment commentator Phil Mphela, the show starts in July with the first episode going live at the Durban July.

TWEEPS NOT HAPPY WITH NEW SQUAD However, Twitter users were not happy with the decision to have Anele and Ayanda join the sports channel.

I love Anele but this recycling situation is not ayoba. There's unearthed talent out there waiting and deserving of opportunities, one tweep said.

Another tweep asked: Why can't sport be presided over by people in sport and not slay queens?

Seeking work in the entertainment industry with qualifications must be stressful.. The industry keeps recycling The same people, another tweep said.
