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

Hi there 🙋🏾‍♀️

What a week. There’s a seeming civil war in the police service, Caster Semenya has triumphed in her latest court battle, and US President Donald Trump has slapped, well, everyone, with tariffs. Again. We’re also looking at why activists are worried the upcoming National Dialogue won’t amount to much more than talk. 

On the global front, Elon Musk wants to start his own political party, but it may remain just a trending X  post. We also check in on the devastation in Gaza, where there’s cautious hope for a ceasefire. And in Texas, deadly floods have some saying Trump’s government cuts may have made things much worse.

Also, a correction: Last week, we said the British Barbarians rugby team was French. Apologies!

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. 😄
