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

We’re back – hope you missed us as much as we missed you!

Our latest Wrap updates you on Julius Malema – he’s just been hit with a major hate speech ruling. Two senior justice officials are in hot water over the bungled Madlanga Commission, and two of SA’s youngest parties are flirting with a coalition ahead of next year’s local elections. 

Cyril’s much-hyped national dialogue? Fast becoming a one-man show. Meanwhile, a billionaire is eyeing Curro, and the Springboks made a strong comeback after their recent stumble.🥳

In Celebville, we unpack Taylor Swift’s recent engagement and why it matters to Swifties everywhere.

Our global lows of the week include Washington and Moscow’s meeting, which was so uneventful it could’ve been an email, one of our neighbours facing a worsening health crisis, and Gaza’s suffering continues.

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. 😄
