The Weekly Wrap: 26 - 31 January 2025

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!

The Weekly Wrap: 20 - 24 January 2024

This week on The Weekly Wrap, I dive into the top stories shaping South Africa and the world. From the sweltering heatwave in the Western Cape to Cyril Ramaphosa’s diplomatic strides at the World Economic Forum, we unpack the biggest headlines locally. I also explore South Africa’s record-low mining fatalities, the ongoing challenges with illegal mining, and Microsoft’s ambitious plan to train 1 million South Africans in AI and cybersecurity. On the global front, we take a closer look at President Donald Trump’s sweeping executive orders during the opening days of his second term and their far-reaching implications. We also explore Russia’s subtle diplomatic shifts amid the Ukraine war, a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, and rising tensions in the West Bank. Plus, ChatGPT’s brief but dramatic outage showed just how much we rely on AI to get through the day. It’s your essential end-of-week news roundup—don’t miss it!
