It’s Thursday already, and you have no clue about what’s happened this week? Thankfully, Unread’s here to catch you up in a snappy video bulletin, exclusive to News24. Coming up in the show, the government intensifies its clampdown on the so-called ‘construction mafia’ by blacklisting many more allegedly dodgy contractors, the innercity home of a Johannesburg DA ward candidate is petrol bombed and then so is her safe house. Meanwhile, a confidential report on Iranian naval drills off Simons Town in January finally lands on the president’s desk, but you won’t be able to read it, all while local confidence in Black Friday deals may have hit an all-time low, according to a new survey. And a few other stories you may’ve missed this week thus far, told in 13 minutes or less. Brought to you by News24 broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer, Unread has well surpassed 1 million views in just five months. 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.
