Dear readers,

The Springboks left South Africans in a jubilant mood on Saturday when they convincingly won the Rugby Championship in Mbombela. After stumbling against Argentina last week, the men in green and gold crushed the visitors 48-7, cementing their position as the world’s top rugby team. We bring you a rundown of how Siya Kolisi’s men achieved the victory.

Then, in our top news story, we report on the dramatic rescue of a financial analyst after her gang of kidnappers made the elementary mistake of including their phone number on their “proof of life” photo. Two men were arrested in connection with the kidnapping.

On the political front, we take you behind the scenes of the looming battle in the ANC over who should succeed deposed Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink.

Elsewhere, columnist Barney Mthombothi suggests that, by toppling Brink as mayor of Tshwane, the ANC in Gauteng, out of sync with the views of the national leadership, has proved that it has become the tail that wags the dog. He also urges party president Cyril Ramaphosa to face down party members working to undermine the GNU.

Elsewhere, Hlengani Mathebula and Thobeka Mda ask what makes SA heritage; is it the braai, the traditional outfits or a woven tapestry?

In Lifestyle, we check out the set of the forthcoming sequel to the popular Joker franchise, Joker: Folie a Deux.

Happy reading!

Regards,
