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 🙋🏾‍♀️

Welcome to this week’s edition of the wrap, unpacking the week that was. 

We explain why the president’s decision to call a commission of inquiry into the police saga is necessary — and why we’re hoping it leads to real action. Also on the agenda: alarming coup claims from Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni. Should we be worried, or is she just being extra?

On the sports side, there have been wins and losses! The Proteas slipped a little while the Fifa Club Cup and Wimbledon wrapped up.

Internationally, the Epstein Files are back in the spotlight, Beyoncé is the victim of a crime, and Superman is apparently more antisemitic than Elon Musk’s Grok 🤯

Heads up: Tomorrow, 18 July, is Nelson Mandela Day. How will you be spending your 67 minutes? Let us know!

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. 😄
