World Cup eve, xenophobia boils over, and Malema’s defamation case derailed

Loading player...
How is it already the middle of the week, and the year?! If, this Thursday, you feel out of the news loop, let Unread host, broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer, draw you back in. He’s hand-picked the most-read stories from the week so far. We start with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recent foreign employment interventions and ignored warnings against xenophobic intimidation, and then examine EFF leader Julius Malema’s derailed defamation case against the Patriotic Alliance’s Kenny Kunene. Later in the show, the economy, despite the odds, shows great signs of growth, and there’s a renewed demand for Johannesburg’s high-end homes. Finally, FIFA World Cup fever is here, with Bafana coach Hugo Broos daring their harshest critics to keep underestimating his yellow-and-green “whipping boys” in a tough Group A. All of these stories – covered in 10 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 journalist Luke Daniel. This show is then vigorously quality-checked by an editor and/or senior member of News24. #News24Video #News24 For this story and more, visit News24: https://www.news24.com/multimedia/video
