You may recognise her from her stint as Miss South Africa Teen back in 2009. In 2018, Jantjies was chosen as a semi-finalist for Miss SA, however, that was only the beginning of her incredible career. 

Jantjies is currently a SABC news broadcaster.

Jantjies is also known for her good heart. In 2019, she started her own foundation, 'Chanté Cares'.

The Scenic Drive invited Jantjies for a telephonic interview to get to know her better.

"I only did the news on a Wednesday. 

"The people have spoken - as of Monday, I will be doing the news from Monday to Friday. 

"It is really tough to do news during this time of the lockdown. It's tiring," Jantjies.
