What a journey so far! Early in 1989 Suanne began working for M.NET as a continuity presenter. After a year on air, Suanne was given the opportunity to present the travelogue "Bon Voyage". Similar in it's format to "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", it afforded Suanne the opportunity to visit 36 countries and to really see the world. The show was also nominated for a "Star Tonight" award for television excellence.

Due to the enormous amount of exposure she received, Suanne became a national celebrity gracing the covers of more than 25 publications and appearing in numerous commercials including 2 national endorsements for "Oil of Olay" and "Dimensions" hair care. In 1993 she received the People's Choice award for South Africa's most beautiful woman. Although M.NET made Suanne a household name, she never lost her desire to continue acting .In 1990 she was cast in the popular series "The Big Time". The series proved to be so successful that a few years later a sequel was made. Being completely bilingual has been a huge asset to Suanne's career and in the Afrikaans drama "Konings" she was thrilled to be working with some of her childhood idols.

She keeps her comedic abilities sharply honed by making regular appearances, doing stand up comedy at the LA Comedy Club.
Most recently Suanne got back to her presenting roots by being the presenter for Warner Brother's "City Live 2000".
