Summary
President Ramaphosa faced a fiery moment at the ANC’s North West campaign kickoff, clashing with a woman at the royal palace — a rocky start as voter registration wound down. Meanwhile, Tshwane’s ousted city manager Johan Mettler was ordered back into his post by the Gauteng High Court. Helen Zille turned up the heat in Johannesburg, spotlighting service delivery to win over voters. Police also made a major drug bust at OR Tambo, seizing 95kg of cocaine worth 28 million rand. And the rugby world mourns the tragic loss of 20-year-old star Luqobo ‘Bibo’ Makwedini. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
