Coming up in our longer-than-usual edition of News24’s video bulletin, Unread, Home Affairs’ decision to consider all asylum seekers’ applications following a Constitutional Court ruling sees violence spill onto the streets, but the department buckles under pressure and cancels the directive. Meanwhile, a big question mark looms large over former president Jacob Zuma’s health. In Germany, South Africa’s celebrated justice, Navi Pillay, joins an exclusive club of local Nobel Peace Prize winners and pulls a Trump joke while she’s at it. Back in the capital, the DA’s Cilliers Brink defends his raid on Mabena House. Finally, we tell you how you can now opt out of spam calls forever! 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.
