The WholeWeek Wrap with Daily Maverick (5 February 2024)

--:--
It’s SONA week and we’re certain many South Africans aren’t too bothered about even watching the whole affair. But with a potentially life-altering election looming, this might be the most important SONA in years… No spark was found, but a recent lacklustre report on the 2021 July riots certainly sparked controversy. Then, campus horrors as the dark underbelly of Stellenbosch initiation culture is exposed. But is this an isolated case?
Then, we head off to the Karoo to visit a tiny town with a few big surprises. And we dig into unsolved mysteries – maybe you could help us find the missing pieces.
