There’s more than enough good news to go around, here are News24’s best stories
Loading player...
Between the headlines on disaster, corruption, and crime are stories that delight South Africans. In fact, some of the most read articles on News24 over the past month have been good news stories. News24’s Good News Editor Paul Herman talks to us about how a Kraaifontein man used his R350 grant to build a vegetable produce business, how budding Springbok star Siphosethu Mnebelele overcame the loss of his parents to make the national junior side, and how a Mitchells Plain man came from humble beginnings to be a fine dining head chef. Later, host Graeme Raubenheimer reports that the Joburg Mayor’s calling in the “Bomb Squad” of governance experts, not the Springboks, to fix the City of Gold. And finally, the City of Cape Town says there’s no budget to complete the iconic, unfinished Foreshore freeway bridge. Mail your comments and voice notes to thelead@24.com.
