Trump’s five demands, nine Ekurhuleni murders, and we remember ‘sandpapergate’
Loading player...
In Unread’s Sunday edition, we hone in on the deepening rift between Pretoria and Washington. Dialogue and negotiation. That’s what South Africa’s ambassador to the United States, Roelf Meyer, is calling for with the US Trump Administration, following a further souring of diplomatic ties this week. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new visa restriction policy targeting South African policymakers, warning of further punitive measures. Meanwhile, back home, will the SA police make a breakthrough in the Ekurhuleni femicide surge? And finally, we recall 2018’s ‘sandpapergate’ and how it still haunts ex-Aussie skipper Steve Smith to this day, while former Proteas star Graeme Smith reckons we should never let them forget it.
