From nervous newbie to iconic anchor: Leanne Manas celebrates 20 years on Morning Live
Looking back at a clip of her first broadcast, Manas, who now co-anchors the show with Sakina Kamwendo, said she remembers"being so nervous".
She revealed that, for her, Morning Live"was going to be a short stint... I don't like the mornings".Twenty years ago this month, Manas joined the late Vuyo Mbuli and replaced temporary co-anchor Michelle Garforth-Venter, who sat in after Tracy Going abruptly left.Looking back at a clip of her first broadcast, Manas, who now co-anchors the show with Sakina Kamwendo, said she remembers"being so nervous".I was starstruck because this was Vuyo Mbuli.
"So nothing was immediate about it. There were no cellphones. We couldn't take selfies. There was no Twitter, there was no Instagram, there was nothing. Facebook came around but that was about it. So we had fax machines," she said. About Kamwendo joining as co-anchor six years ago, Manas said,"When we came together here, it was a brilliant turnaround. The one thing that people have always said about Morning Live is the consistency of it. You become a family. And when that consistency gels with a brilliant partnership, then you know you're in for success".Who we choose to trust can have a profound impact on our lives.
