Description
The day after the medium-term budget, Enoch Godongwana's fuel levy relief and municipal finance overhaul ran across nearly every station, from breakfast bulletins to business shows. Water anxiety ran a close second as the Bronkhorstspruit gastro outbreak, Rand Water warnings and possible Cape Town restrictions converged. Afternoon bulletins turned to a fatal mob assault on a foreign national in Durban's CBD, while sports desks had the Proteas six wickets from levelling the series against Australia.
