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

Another week, another episode of Mzansi: The Political Soapie. A surprise deputy minister firing today has shaken up the GNU. Also in this Wrap: President Cyril Ramaphosa aims to make the judiciary more independent (finally, some adulting in government), Home Affairs is taking on banks, and Malusi Gigaba is attempting to block his ex from airing their dirty laundry on a TV show. Meanwhile, the deputy president is… well, being the deputy president. 
Globally, Israel and Iran are still at it, scientists are cooking up ways to create synthetic human DNA (yes, really), and New York might soon have a mayor with Cape Town links. Plus, a new study says ChatGPT could be making your brain a bit mushy…. 
So, let’s dive into these stories and more in this week’s wrap, brought to you by Verashni Pillay and the explain.co.za team. 😄
