Selling sweets to pay for matric ball and May’s best good news stories

from The Lead · host News24

From a viral grade twelve pupil selling sweets every morning at the local taxi rank to attend his matric dance, to a young Ikeys rugby star who got a shock call-up from Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus, by the end of Tuesday’s discussion with Good News Editor Paul Herman in The Lead, we hope to leave you feeling extra inspired and proud to be a South African. Later in the show, host Graeme Raubenheimer discusses controversial Gauteng tenderpreneur Vusimusi ‘Cat’ Matlala who has abandoned his bid for bail in connection with an alleged failed hit. Finally, we look at how the economy barely budged in this year’s first quarter. Mail your comments and voice notes to [email protected].
