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

Brace yourselves, Mzansi, another cold front is on the way. But you know what’s warming us up? The Springboks by winning on the field, and investigative journalists by exposing corruption. 

Meanwhile, the MK Party is descending even further into factional battles, the GNU is looking a little shaky as usual, plus we explain Donald Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” and why it’s a bit of a big mess. 😆

We also unpack how AI landed a team of lawyers in trouble, reminding us that ChatGPT is many things, but it’s not particularly accurate. Internationally, Beyoncé had a mid-concert scare, but much to her hive’s relief, Queen B is safe. Over the pond, a punk-rap duo proved their anti-establishment chops with their comments on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

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. 😄
