Episode Details

The Bronkhorstspruit water contamination crisis dominated bulletins and phone-ins on almost every station, sharpened by an election campaign only a week from polling day. Eugene de Kock's testimony about apartheid-era orders crossed from the morning news into newspaper reviews and a podcast deep-dive. Away from hard news, the Proteas' series decider at Newlands and an unusually reflective run of conversations about mental health gave the day some range.
