Tick-tock on talks to run SA’s hung metros, and Tatjana Smith’s Dutch courage

Coming up in this midweek edition of News24’s Unread, the clock is ticking now, with exactly 14 days since last Sunday, for politicians to form new governments in the places where they have been elected. Meanwhile, the DA’s Helen Zille seems to have been the focal point of much of the latest coalition negotiations, as ActionSA’s Herman Mashaba drives a hard political bargain. The ANC, for one, appears to be divided over whether to work with the DA at the local government level, with its NEC meeting this week to forge a way forward. We get analysis from Cape Town political commentator, Daniel Silke. In other stories, she is the country’s most decorated Olympian, but Tatjana Smith’s intense frustrations with longstanding management failures at Swimming SA have seen her swap the Rainbow Nation flag for the Dutch one. And finally, the Springboks prep in Paris to try and make it five straight wins against the French at home. Expect fresh shows twice a week.
