What's making headlines in SA?
Acumen Media has once again collated the week's biggest stories in the South African media.
President Cyril Ramaphosa takes the top spot as Economic Freedom Fighters MPs resigned after admitting that they had taken money from the #CR17 campaign. One year into the State Capture Inquiry and it's still dominating the headlines; this time regarding the Estina Dairy Farm.
Also receiving negative sentiment is Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane as she heads to Constitutional Court. And in a welcomed move by everyone but AfriForum, a symbol of the country's divided past, the Apartheid Flag, has been banned.
The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria ruled that the findings in the arms deal commission be set aside, which many suspect may finally lead to the prosecution of former president Jacob Zuma. Enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan reckons that the country has recovered R2.1bn since addressing its state capture, while Bloomberg reported that the country has been losing the same amount as foreign investment dwindles.
Many citizens have also been wondering about the increasing silence regarding land reform. And the country marked seven years since the tragic happenings at Marikana.
Ending off on a positive note, the Ndlovu Youth Choir from Limpopo flew the SA flag high as they won America's Got Talent.
