46% of SA’s water is unsafe, recording rocks IDAC, and Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry is here!

With exactly 94 days to go until the municipal polls, News24’s video bulletin Unread hones in on the country’s underlying and often quiet crisis: water provision. This week, some senior government officials conceded that council corruption is undermining the supply of adequate water; 46% of our taps are now pumping out unclean water. In the meantime, the Independent Electoral Commission’s ballot paper for the 4 November polls has grown to a staggering 620 registered political parties. Host Graeme Raubenheimer also summarises the latest events at the Madlanga Commission, relays Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry schedule for the All Blacks in SA, and wraps up with a ruling speaking to the heart of paid influencer adverts in SA today. All of these stories are covered in 10 minutes or less. Expect fresh shows every week. This show has been carefully produced, presented and edited by Raubenheimer, News24 visual director Wynand Louw and video journalists Luke Daniel, Chelsea Ogilvie and Storm Simpson. This show is vigorously quality checked by an editor and/or senior member of News24.
