Two‑time South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTA) nominee Chanley Wong is joining the presenter lineup of the Expresso Morning Show on SABC 3, starting 17 February 2026.

Born and raised in Benoni, Wong first gained recognition on youth-focused television shows, establishing herself as a relatable and engaging on-screen presence. Over time, her work earned critical recognition, including two SAFTA nominations, highlighting her contributions to South African television.

Wong’s path back to national television was not immediate. Following a seven-year hiatus, she repeatedly auditioned for presenting roles, including waiting in line for more than 12 hours during one previous search, before securing her position on Expresso. Her journey reflects the competitive nature of broadcast careers in South Africa, where talent alone does not always guarantee visibility or opportunity.

She brings a broad skill set across television, radio, and digital platforms, enabling her to engage effectively with audiences in live formats. This combination of experience positions her to handle live interviews, topical discussions, and interactive segments with viewers.

Expresso airs weekdays on SABC 3. With Chanley Wong joining the presenter team, the show continues to balance seasoned on-air talent with emerging and returning presenters, reinforcing its place as a staple of South African morning television.

Ashay Sewlall, 24, from Richards Bay, is making a name for himself in Big Brother Mzansi Season 6. He brings with him a unique mix of experiences: professional football, endurance running, and content creation.

He observes carefully, chooses when to speak, and navigates social dynamics with thoughtfulness, a strategy that sets him apart from more theatrical contestants.
He is also active on social media, engaging thousands of followers with fitness content, dance videos, and bilingual communication in English and isiZulu. His nickname, “Paprika,” emerged from his introduction video and has become widely recognized online.
