Cost of living crisis worsens, White House UFC bouts, and DA edges ANC in Emfuleni

We get it, the work week zooms past all of us. But don’t fret, Unread’s host, broadcast journalist, Graeme Raubenheimer, has carefully curated a list of 10 News24 stories from the week that you deserve to know a lot more about. Chief among them is the worsening cost of living crisis, with not only looming municipal rates increases in both cash-strapped Johannesburg and Cape Town post-court case, but also the latest interest rate rise, and a possible petrol price per litre hike in June. We then touch on rising migration tensions; the deputy president’s uneventful visit to the Cape Flats; Trump’s UFC birthday bouts planned for the White House South Lawn; the DA beating the ANC in a tight Emfuleni by-election; a breakthrough for the SIU in the Tembisa Hospital tender scam saga; and finally, find out whether Mzansi loves dogs or cats more. All of this 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. This show is then vigorously quality-checked by an editor and/or senior member of News24.
