Dear readers,
We hope you like the changes we introduced last week in your Sunday Times, which are meant to give your favourite Sunday read a more modern, fresher look in line with international trends. We are especially proud of the changes. However, we would still like to hear from you as we embark on this journey together.
We look forward to receiving your feedback at sefaram@sundaytimes.co.za.
Top of our stories this week, we have an interview with ex-ANC presidential hopeful and senior party leader Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. In a sit-down with political editor Sibongakonke Shoba, Dlamini-Zuma shares her views on the government of national unity, the female glass ceiling and how her ex-husband’s new party, MKP, tried unsuccessfully to recruit her from the ANC.
Also this week, we report on a senior education department official who is being investigated by the Hawks over a R500m tender awarded to her now-husband. The tender was to provide thousands of tablets to schools in the Eastern Cape.
On a subject that affects every South African household and business, deputy editor Mike Siluma reports on how Eskom stopped load-shedding and tries to answer the question: might the power cuts return? He spoke to a cross-section of role players to understand the behind-the-scenes work that went into stopping the power blackouts.
We also have a story on how the popularity of vaping continues to grow among young people, despite the health hazards.
Lastly, to warm your hearts, in a case of “marriage at first sight”, we bring you the story of how breakthrough eye surgery allowed a blind swimmer to marry her sweetheart shortly before seeing him for the first time.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
