Mkhwanazi's fifth arrest in a row, and Nkandla's architect must pay back R147m

Loading player...
Another week, another arrest warrant for corruption-accused, suspended deputy Ekurhuleni Metro Police Chief, Julius Mkhwanazi.And never mind Africa’s richest city, Johannesburg council meetings can’t run without diesel, evident in this week’s final sitting heavily delayed by a thirsty generator. Plus five other stories you need to know in the week that was; the Western Cape government is bracing for a hotter-than-normal veldfire season, and China chastises the crime situation in a country smaller than Gauteng, Eswatini, perhaps just because of its historical ties to rival Taiwan. Finally, one of the SA Navy’s trio of subs, the SAS Manthatisi, is back in the water. You’re tuned in to News24’s Unread this Sunday with broadcast journalist, Graeme Raubenheimer. Expect fresh shows twice a week. This show has been carefully produced, presented and edited by Raubenheimer, News24 visual director Wynand Louw, and video journalists Luke Daniel, Storm Simpson and Chelsea Ogilvie.
