    Peet caught in a US lie? A challenge to Mnangagwa’s new rules? WC’s dodgy shrooms

    This Sunday, the UNREAD team wraps up the news week with a smorgasbord of municipal service delivery stories, from the financially beleaguered city of Johannesburg to the mountain heaps of rubbish in Emfuleni Local Municipality in the Vaal.

    Gana chairs Phala Phala impeachment, more petrol pain, and a bulletproof BMW

    Before you know it, it’s Thursday and you’ve missed half the week’s current affairs coverage. But fear not, Unread’s host, broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer, has carefully curated a list of News24 stories from the week thus far to keep you firmly in the know.

There’s more petrol price pain at the pumps, Liam Jacobs has politically flip-flopped his way from the DA to the PA and back to the DA again, and in sport, some Bafana Bafana players did not get US visas by the time they were due to fly out to the FIFA World Cup on Sunday. Finally, funds in the thousands of rands have been raised to buy a new coffee machine for a seasoned Hawks official testifying before the Madlanga Commission. Only in Mzansi! All of these stories covered in 10 minutes or less. Expect fresh shows every week. This show has been carefully produced, presented and edited by Raubenheimer, News24 visual director Wynand Louw and video journalist Luke Daniel.
