The WholeWeek Wrap with Daily Maverick (26 June 2023)

Heather and Lezanne chat about what BRICS actually means for SA and why the Ukraine peace process is distracting us from the bigger picture; the assault on dignity of LGBTQI+ people and basic human rights in Uganda and parts of the US; good news on the State Capture front as the US SEC fines a US consultancy firm for its role - but when will SA make its move? And why AIDS vaccine development is giving us hope.

Move BRICS, get out the way! Could government hand over this political hot potato to China? Then, we explore why the National Health Insurance (NHI) simply won't work in its current form. And an unbelievable story of survival.

Eskom sees less loadshedding in our future. But how optimistic should we be? The National State Enterprises Bill has ruffled a few feathers. So, what does it all mean? Markus Jooste says it wasn't him. How plausible is his defence? President Ramaphosa's dubious June peace mission to Ukraine and Russia is bearing fruit - sort of. And when it comes to loadshedding, a sense of humour will get you far. Just ask Trevor Noah.

As the country faces another week of Stage 6 loadshedding, Daily Maverick's Ray Mahlaka tells us what the Minister of Electricity told him... Then, we look at the latest developments in the Life Esidimeni inquest, and Carte Blanche's Masa Kekana celebrates the inclusion of sign language as our twelfth official language. That and more in this week's WholeWeek Wrap.
