Hi there 🙋🏽‍♀️ in this week's edition of The Wrap, we're looking at wins for GBV in our court system, and how things could ideally work for other survivors. We unpack the motion of no confidence in Cyril Ramaphosa, plus give you the latest on Russia, THAT Will Smith slap, and celebrate Miriam Makeba. 

So, let’s dive into your weekly update of empowering and easy-to-understand news, brought to you by Verashni Pillay and the explain.co.za team. 😄

31 March '22: The ANC’s era of decline

Brrr! The cold front has arrived just in time for our Youth Day public holiday. 😭 Damn you, Winter! The Western Cape was hit first and Gauteng is now experiencing the chill – just as Eskom aka the princes of darkness warns us the grid is under strain. 🙄 Make sure your gas heater is filled.

Still, we’re determined to enjoy tomorrow, hence sending this newsletter a day early. We hope you are too: take time off and find a way to commemorate or celebrate our youth as we remember the events of the Soweto riots that tomorrow commemorates.

This week we had a bit of fun discussing Comair’s grounding, even if it does mean we’re effectively grounded too with the prices of air travel soaring. We tell you why it’s a good thing a white man has been appointed to the ConCourt, and a bad thing that black women were excluded from breast cancer research! We also give you the latest on Farmgate, our Public Protector, and the Gupta arrests. Read on – and stay warm! 🙋🏽‍♀️
