Episode Details

With local government elections three weeks away, Monday's radio was dominated by the ANC's bid at the Constitutional Court to get 181 candidates back on the ballot. The story was argued, explained and debated on almost every station. Shadrack Sibiya's abrupt resignation and the escalating anti-immigrant mobilisation in Soweto and KwaZulu-Natal kept newsrooms busy all day. Matric exam readiness, the Proteas' struggle in Durban and Navi Pillay's Nobel Peace Prize gave bulletins some breadth beyond the crises.
