In your midweek edition of News24’s Unread, we bring you details on former deputy national police Shadrack Sibiya’s failed bid for bail on charges of rape, human trafficking and sexual grooming. We dig through the mid-term budget speech to give you five essential takeaways, including the government’s promise to slash the general fuel levy. In other stories, another water crisis plagues the city of Tshwane after it failed to inform Bronkhorstspruit and surrounding residents about issues at its water treatment plant, leaving more than 400 people ill. And private graveyards in Mzansi appear to be big business! Plus: a few other must-know stories, including the Patriotic Alliance’s ban on giving local media interviews, all from the week that was in 13 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.
