SA braces for anti-immigrant protests, Bafana’s LA showdown, and Steenhuisen breaks silence

Loading player...
South Africa is holding its breath with anti-migrant attitudes reaching a dangerous fever pitch, several hours before the mass 30 June xenophobic protests planned across Mzansi. Unread’s broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer is here to fill you in on what you’ve missed in this developing story thus far. Meanwhile, celebrations in the Bafana Bafana camp continue this Sunday morning as they brace for a tough clash against tournament co-hosts Canada tonight at 21:00 CAT. In other stories, Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala pleads guilty to fraud and corruption for landing a dodgy multi-million rand SAPS tender, and former DA leader John Steenhuisen breaks his silence about his political successor’s plans to demote him in Cabinet, in an exclusive interview with News24 editor-in-chief, Adriaan Basson. We round off our coverage with Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus’ praise for England’s number eight Henry Pollock, and MMA star Dricus du Plessis’ upcoming UFC bout over in Oklahoma City, US. All of these stories covered in 10 minutes or less, twice a week. 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.
