Don’t know what happened in the news this week? Unread is here to catch you up. In our top story this Sunday, with about a week and a half to go before the municipal elections, the administration in charge of the country’s capital, Pretoria, is facing a fresh investigation by the Public Protector’s office. This follows the Bronkhorstspruit water crisis, and now there’s been a separate water contamination problem in the CBD. Meanwhile, Pretoria’s Kgosi Mampuru II prison has a new temporary cellmate in Suliman Carrim, the ANC-connected North West businessman who tried to skip the country while the Madlanga Commission was seeking his testimony. Carrim’s legal woes are piling up, now that he’s the subject of two separate court cases. Finally, that Asian car you bought five years ago is now up for a trade-in, but the resale value might not be there yet, says a local vehicle dealer. Plus: a few other must-know stories, including the story of a US fugitive extradited from Gqeberha, all from the week that was – in 11 minutes or less. 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.
