The WholeWeek Wrap with Daily Maverick (19 June 2023)

Nothing to see here, folks… The Lady R report raises more questions. Why has Daily Maverick become the target of not one, but two cyber attacks? Then, the SANDF is left red-faced as classified info gets leaked. Later, big pharma bullies… We look at the recently released COVID-19 contracts. And some good news for 2000 South African rhino.

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.

We break down the rands and cents of the controversial Karpowership deal. Then, the shambolic Ukraine-Russia peace mission - but what was actually discussed? And several wins for truth and justice!

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.
