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

Loading player...
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. Plus, four past and present Ekurhuleni city officials appear in a Germiston court on corruption charges in connection with Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala. We trace back disbarred attorney Peet Viljoen’s fraud and corruption court case and his failed BackaBuddy legal fees campaign, and we top it all off with word from across the border that the controversial constitutional amendments that give Zimbabwe’s so-called “crocodile”, Emmerson Mnangagwa, more time in office, are wide open to a potential court challenge. In other news, Western Cape authorities warn against picking and eating any ’ol wild mushroom, and a Junior Springbok is caught using steroids. All of these stories are covered in 10 minutes or less, twice a week. Expect fresh shows every week. This show has been carefully produced, presented and edited by host Graeme Raubenheimer, visual director Wynand Louw, and video journalists Luke Daniel, Storm Simpson, and Chelsea Ogilvie. This show is then vigorously quality-checked by a senior member of News24. #News24Video #News24 For this story and more, visit News24: https://www.news24.com/multimedia/video
