Acumen Media's weekly news roundup

Let's take a look at Acumen Media's seven-day analysis of the news making headlines in South Africa. Following the inauguration of the country's fifth democratically-elected president, Cyril Ramaphosa's cabinet announcement - which included some surprises - was on everyone's minds.

Good leader Patricia de Lille and Pravin Gordhan's inclusion in the cabinet was one of the biggest stories relating to the cabinet announcement. Gordhan also dominated other news as the Public Protector released her report on the former finance minister.

Elsewhere, the #ProteaFire was a doused after the national cricket team lost to England (by 104 runs!) in their opening Cricket World Cup match. In State Capture Inquiry news, it was Transnet's turn to take the spotlight this time. And, for once, in a different kind of light, Eskom is looking for a new CEO.

Social media, meanwhile, was abuzz with speculation about the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon). And the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has ordered the Economic Freedom Fighters to apologise and provide financial compensation of R500,000 to Trevor Manuel for defamation and false information.
