Mkhwanazi, Liebenberg, and Mapisa-Nqakula's criminal court cases explained

Loading player...
This Sunday on News24’s premier video news bulletin Unread, we get to the heart of three major cases before the courts this week: the bail application brought by deputy Ekurhuleni metro police chief Julius Mkhwanazi who stands accused of covering up a 2022 murder, the eventual start of alleged diamond swindler Louis Liebenberg’s ponzi scheme trial now that he’s declared sane enough to follow proceedings, and former defence minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s urgent bid to kick out her corruption kickback trial. In other news, can the once-epic Kaizer Chiefs keep up their current form in the PSL? Why is the national SAPS wasting millions of rand every month on leasing properties in Pretoria? Does Patrice Motsepe really want to be the next ANC president, as a recent poll suggests he should? Taking a train is a big want for most SA commuters, suggests a UCT study. And finally, a daring hyena sips water from a Kruger Park picnic tap. These stories covered in 10 minutes or less — it’s your ultimate Sunday news bulletin. Expect fresh shows twice a week. This show has been carefully produced, presented and edited by Raubenheimer, News24 visual director Wynand Louw, and video journalists Luke Daniel, Storm Simpson and Chelsea Ogilvie. This show is then quality-checked by an editor and/or senior member of News24.
