eNCA is a privately owned company based in South Africa. Founded in 2008, it employs approximately 430 individuals and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company provides media and TV services, specializing in its role as a 24-hour TV news broadcaster focusing on South African and African stories.
On August 12, 2026, the Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union (SACTWU) faced scrutiny regarding its dual position as a trade union and a major investor in the corporate group ultimately linked to eNCA, where 171 employees face potential retrenchment. This follows eNCA's initiation of a Section 189 consultation process on August 6, which could result in the retrenchment of 171 employees as the broadcaster restructures its newsroom for a digital-first future. Previously, on August 5, eNCA's plans for a major restructuring became public, potentially affecting more than half of its 309-person workforce. This move places 171 jobs on the line, contributing to a trend of job cuts in South Africa's media industry, even as group CEO Khalik Sherrif earned R19 million in the most recent financial year.
