As the face of SBS World News, Janice Petersen spends her evenings bringing Australians updates from around the globe. But this month she’ll also be on screen telling a more personal story.
An upcoming episode of Dateline, airing 23 August, will see Petersen explore the challenges mixed-race couples still face today in South Africa. Petersen’s parents are South African, but left the country before she was born to escape the difficulties of apartheid. Her visit with Dateline was a chance for the TV presenter to explore both her family history and what life might have looked like had her mum and dad never emigrated to Sydney.
