About Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola (LNN)
A mad-cap take on South Africa's ever changing political and social landscape, there are no sacred cows for this weekly satire. Anchor Loyiso Gola is joined by David Kibuuka, the reluctant foreign correspondent, and Chester Missing - widely considered to be one of the most insightful (albeit plastic) commentators in the nation. LNN draws on the endless material given to it by South African politicians. It enthralls viewers from across the political and social spectrum, and is committed to poking fun at the South African condition.
