The SABC says in a statement Ayanda-Allie Paine is now a SABC news presenter.
Ayanda-Allie Paine's defection to another TV news channel marks the eNCA's first on-air face showing up on a rival South African TV news channel.
She's noted for this incident last year in March taking a nap live on the air, slumped over the anchor desk.
Two months ago the eNCA still publicised Ayanda-Allie Paine's anchoring of Morning News Today between 06:00 and 09:00 with co-anchor Dan Moyane.
The eNCA website still carries Ayanda-Allie Paine's profile and she is still listed on the eNCA website as one of the eNCA news team.
