Skip the scroll. Get the story. A 10-minute news briefing by News24 broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer.

In Unread’s midweek top story, it’s a crisis consuming this country that refuses to go away.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has addressed South Africans on what his national coalition is now doing to stem the tide of gender-based violence following the murders of 11 women in the Ekurhuleni region in the past two months alone.

And separately, suspended national top cop Shadrack Sibiya denies claims of alleged rape and the sexual grooming of a minor.

In other news, think of it as a formal protest or objection to another country’s actions or statements: For a second time, Pretoria has formally demarched US Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III following his recent series of scathing press interviews.

Finally, in your sport, the Springboks have until the end of October to mull their loss to the Wallabies and rally for a return against the Italians.
