Until December 2007, Enus anchored the late edition of SBS World News Australia, weeknights at 9.30pm. With the departure of both Mary Kostakidis and Stan Grant as anchors of the early evening broadcast, Enus became the lead anchor of the programme on 17 December 2007.

He has been a broadcaster and journalist for 20 years. He has been with SBS World News Tonight for the past five years, after a 15-year career in radio and television with South Africa's national broadcaster, SABC. Anton's achievements include the CNN World Report award for best international report and the Bokmakierie Award for current affairs. Before leaving South Africa, Anton presented the country's major evening national news bulletin for the SABC.

He was a founding member of South Africa's gay and lesbian sports movement in the early 1980s and was on the organising team that guided the country into the Gay Games for the first time in 1994. He has also served on committees aimed at reconciling Johannesburg's multicultural gay and lesbian communities.

He is a keen long distance runner, having completed more than 30 standard or ultra-marathons. He has completed South Africa's premier ultra-marathon, the Comrades (90 km), ten times. He also enjoys squash, tennis, road running and hiking.

In 1999 he migrated to Sydney with Roger Henning, his partner of 15 years, and they both became Australian citizens in July 2002.
