This week, I break down the biggest stories shaping South Africa and the world. From the ANC’s push to enforce the Expropriation Act to the looming electricity tariff hikes, I unpack what these changes mean for everyday South Africans. I also dive into the latest on South Africa’s role in the DRC conflict and the funding crisis hitting NGOs after the USAID freeze.
On the global front, I take a look at Donald Trump’s latest executive orders—because of course, there are plenty—including his controversial immigration policies and the expansion of Guantanamo Bay’s migrant center. I also unpack Russia’s shifting diplomatic strategy in Ukraine, the cracks forming in Gaza’s fragile ceasefire, and how China’s AI breakthrough sent Wall Street into a panic.
It’s your essential end-of-week news roundup—you won’t want to miss it!
