How is it already the middle of the week, and the year?! If this Thursday you feel out of the news loop, let Unread host and broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer draw you back in. He's hand-picked the most-read stories from the week so far. We start with the frictious war of words between outspoken top police officer Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Investigating Directorate Against Corruption head Andrea Johnson. This is after her anti-graft agency did a recent U-turn on the arrests of two Crime Intelligence officials. Meanwhile, the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa says more young people are eager to vote come 4 November; fuel price decreases are now on the horizon; a counter-campaign has been launched against xenophobia; cannabis sales remain generally illegal; and a pair of University of Cape Town researchers have invented a new heat warning system. All of these stories – covered in 10 minutes or less. Expect fresh shows twice a week. This show has been carefully produced, presented and edited by Raubenheimer, News24 visual director Wynand Louw and video journalist Luke Daniel. This show is then vigorously quality-checked by an editor and/or senior member of News24. #News24Video #News24 For this story and more, visit News24: https://www.news24.com/multimedia/video
