Friday Focus | The Week in Review

This week’s Friday Focus leads with the latest on Tongaat Hulett, after the KZN Premier said On Thursday that the province will not stand by and allow the company to collapse without intervention. We unpack what that could mean for jobs and the wider sugar industry.
